I remember that grandma had made the hard sauce with the liquor and my grandpa either didn’t know she had already added it or he thought there wasn’t enough - so he added more. I remember my Dad saying that was the best hard sauce she had ever made😁😁. I never had any - not sure if it was because of the booze or that the name sounded yucky but now I sure wish I had had some.
