My mother always made her raisin sauce for holiday dinners. The secret is maple balsamic vinegar. It adds a nice flair to a boring ham! It’s perfect for holiday season and the leftovers are delightful.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon maple balsamic vinegar (substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup & 1 1/2 balsamic vinegar)
1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
In a small saucepan boil the raisins in the water for 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the rest of the ingredients whisking for a few minutes until the mixture becomes thick. Serve on the side with warm sliced ham.
