Butter Sauce For Plum Pudding

This is one of those family recipes that you do not want to lose.  Mine has been passed down generation to generation.  It is not christmas for me without this sauce on Plum Pudding.  I hope one day my kids will pass it down to theirs.
GREAT GRANNIES BUTTER SAUCE

This sauce is to pour over plum pudding and is excellent.  Granny Whalen died around 1970 at 90 years old.  She passed this recipe down to my grandmother and then to my mom and then to me.  She was a midwife in Quebec.

2 eggs
2 cups white sugar

Beat this until frothy and add 1 cup melted butter, Beat again and add 4 tbsp vinegar and cook in a double boiler very slowly (1/2 hour) do not boil.
