I cooked the sauce more and added more cream and he pronounced it "edible" but I know he never wants to see it again. I thought it was pretty good, although I liked it better after I tinkered with it because it did have kind of a strong "bite" before I cooked it longer. Could you taste the vodka? Was it strong? Did you use real cream or half and half?

Sayeth Absolute.com! That really is a quick sauce. Quick is good... for me. Ah, so the vodka really is a flavor enhancer. Sayeth Absolute.com!
