Method

For the Sauce Base

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in sugar and cornstarch/arrowroot until blended.

Whisk in half-and-half and vanilla. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken. When thick, remove from heat and stir in pecans. Set aside to cool slightly or serve immediately.
