Melba sauce

Created by the famous French chef Auguste Escoffier for Australian opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, this sauce is a combination of puréed and strained fresh raspberries, red currant jelly, sugar and cornstarch. It's classically used to adorn the dessert peach melba but can also top ice cream, fruit, pound cakes and puddings.
