Directions

Get a head start on the toppings by making the Maple-Rum Sauce the night before.
Boil, reducing first 6 ingredients to 1 1/2 cups, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain and return to pan.
Add rum and salt, return to a boil. Combine cornstarch and juice in a small bowl, then whisk into syrup to thicken.
Next Day
Reheat Maple-Rum Sauce, Add and heat through the cooked sausage, apple slices and raisins, if using them.


Makes 3 1/2 to 4 cups ** To slice, first cut 4 sides from the tio and bottom. Then slice each into 1/4-inch half-moons. My family loves this way of serving waffles. Particularly nice for a brunch. Enjoy..
