Sweet Sage Cream Sauce (without the Sage!)

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt the butter with the cooking oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Mix the rosemary, thyme, and flour into the butter mixture; cook and stir until smooth, bubbling, and turns a light tan color, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir the heavy cream into the flour mixture a little at a time, allowing each addition to incorporate fully before adding more. Stir the nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and pepper into the cream mixture; cook and stir until smooth.
