Holiday Date Sauce

Holiday Date Sauce is a lovely sauce that goes well with cake deserts. The thick honey like consistency runs like lava down the side of cakes and desserts beautifully. While it is called date sauce, there are far more cranberries included in this sauce. They add a lovely flavour to it.
