Sweet Cider Sauce for Desserts

Stir cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the cider in small bowl until smooth. Heat remaining cider in small noncorrosive saucepan. Stir in cornstarch mixture, allspice, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg to taste. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and turns translucent, about 3 minutes. Strain through wire-mesh sieve. Serve warm.
