Garlic and Spring Onion Mayonnaise and Seafood Cocktail Sauce

.
I wanted to serve something nicer than plain mayonnaise or tomato sauce with our entree, Mixed Seafood Platter. So I decided on two different flavoured mayonnaises or sauces with I thought would compliment the flavours of the different seafoods nicely and I must say they did.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chilli sauce
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup low fat cream
.
In a medium sized bowl combine mayonnaise, tomato sauce, chilli sauce, brandy (if using) and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.
.
Stir through the cream.

Place in the refrigerator to chill until required. This will also maximize flavour.
