Raisin Sauce

Raisin Sauce for Ham or Pork

This is a sauce that my grandmother used to make up whenever she made ham.  It is a great compliment to serve with sliced ham or other pork dishes. 

Ingredients

1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 Tbs. cornstarch
1/2 c. raisins
1 Tbs. butter

Directions

Combine brown sugar and cornstarch together in a saucepan. 

Slowly pour in boiling water, whisking constantly to remove lumps.  

Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture starts to boil.  

Add raisins.  Simmer for 5 minutes over a very low flame, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat.  Stir in butter until melted.

Notes

You can add 1 tsp. ground mustard in the mixture when combining the brown sugar and cornstarch together.
