EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

In England, traditional hard sauce is flavored with brandy, rum or whiskey. Our version is made with orange juice to complement the spicy gingerbread flavors. If desired, try an orange liqueur, such as Grand Mariner.

Prepare this dessert in advance, but serve it warm. Bake the gingerbread and let it cool. Cover and let it stand at room temperature. Prepare the sauce; cover and refrigerate it. Bring the sauce to room temperature before serving. Wrap the gingerbread in foil and warm it at 350°F. for 15 minutes. Spoon the room-temperature sauce over each serving.

There really is no list of what NOT to eat. Of csuore there are things you need to stay away from or have in moderation. If you know how many carbs per day you should be sticking to (your Dr can give you an idea) then you can have anything you want as long as you try to stay within a maximum number of carbs per meal or per day.Go to diabetes.org for nutritional information.
