Bird's Brandy Sauce

After Christmas, there was a big clear out at Sainsburys so I grabbed myself with a bargain on the Bird's Brandy sauce which was only 5p.

I wasn't sure what to do with it at first because I am not a fan of mince pies so I saved it until I had something to go with it.

Since I had some puff pastry I decided to use it as a filling because the consistency at room temperature was just like thick custard.

The taste of Brandy sauce is similar to regular custard infused with Brandy which made it perfect as a puff pastry filling.

There was a strange aniseed taste to it as well.

Overall, the Brandy sauce is nice if you like custard.
