Grandma Strohecker's Cider and Raisin Sauce

Sarah_Jayne's Note:

Another recipe from the 1980 version of the Grace Evangelical Congregational Church cookbook from Muir, Pennsylvania that was given to me by my Nana when I became an adult. This recipe was submitted to the cookbook by Grandma Strohecker. As with so many of these recipes, she didn't specify serving yield. So, I am guessing a bit. I have had a version of this so many times growing up and it is *so* good.

As soon as I saw this recipe I knew how I was gonna christen it ~ Over an open-face ham sandwich made with a thick slice of whole-grain bread! Love raisins, anyway, no matter how they're used, & this sauce is just simply GREAT! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, which, obviously is a great keeper!
