Bring just up to the boil, cover
and leave to stand 1 hour so that flavors mingle.
Strain milk, through a fine mesh
sieve, into a clean pan.
Add crumbs, pecan nuts, butter or
margarine, cream and pepper to taste.
Stir over a low heat until thick
and very hot.
Serve straight away.
Pecans and cream make this re-vamped
sauce on the costly side but it is a gastronomic treat with turkey,
chicken and pheasant and a welcome change from traditional bread sauce.
