Raisin Sauce Quandary

Hi maximom. I make a similar raisin sauce to serve with ham and I serve it in a regular gravy boat with ladle. Seems to work fine (or guests can pour it if they prefer). It is yummy.

Silver serving boat with ladle - sounds scrumptious, um-ummmmmmmmmmmm!

Thanks! A gravy boat it is, then! Where would I be without the net, A2K in particular?!!!

The raisin sauce was terrible! The mistake happened when I asked my mother in law for her recipe. She referred me to the Betty Crocker cookbook. Well, apparantly mine is a different edition! When it didn't turn out, I compared notes with her, and found this to be the "good" recipe! So, if by any chance, any of you were going to use this raisin sauce recipe, please, please, please use this instead!

1/2 C. brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
2 T cornstarch
2 T vinegar
2 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp. grated lemon peel
1 1/2 C. water
1/2 C (or less, to taste) raisins

Mix brown sugar, dry mustard and cornstarch. Slowly add vinegar. Add lemon juice and peel, water and raisins. Stir over low heat until thick. Makes 2 cups. Serve hot with ham.

Note: Our Aunt adds 2 T of butter or ham fat at the end... don't know if this is good or not! Sounds good, though...................

Happy Holidays!

Thanks maxsimom, I was going to use the sauce at one time. Now I know the good one!

WOW!!I have been looking for the recipe out of the "old" Betty Crocker cookbook and this is as close as I have seen since I lost my book. Thank you, you made the day. Corgimom
