Bread Sauce

• 2 small onions, peeled and each stuck with 3 cloves
• 1 bay leaf
• 4

Put the clove-stuck onions, bay leaf, peppercorns and the blade of mace (or sprinkle the ground mace over) into a pan with the milk. Add a good pinch of salt and bring to the boil, but do not actually let boil. Remove from the heat, cover the pan and infuse. I tend to do this first thing in the morning when I get up, but if you forget or can’t, then just make sure you get the infusion done abou
