Cinnamon Sauce

Take a stick of cinnamon, break it into small pieces, and put into a pan with three ounces of sugar and a trifle over one pint of water; place this on the fire, and after it has boiled up once, skim and strain it into a basin. Mix a little arrowroot, or corn starch with some cold water, place it in the pan, and take out the cinnamon. Boil it once more and it is then ready for use.
