For a smoother sauce, use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the mixture after cooking. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer the sauce. If you don't have a double boiler, a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water works just as well. Be sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. For a richer flavor, try using heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
