I LIKE RAISINS, & am always on the lookout for additional raisin sauce variations! This one is GREAT, & I found that it goes well, not only with ham, but also with chicken [believe it or not!] as well as with my own Recipe #204267! Another time, I might EXclude the mustard & vinegar & sweeten it just a little more to find out how it'll go on ice cream & pound cake!! Thanks much for this great recipe!

Excellent, Kitz!!! We really enjoyed this wonderful sauce on our Easter Ham slices. YUM... I let it cook a little longer to "plump" my dried out raisins and added a little more brown sugar.

Excellent sauce! Has a slight sweet and sour flavor but not as strong as something like dipping sauce for eggrolls. Went very nicely with ham! Thanks for posting!

Just as advertised - easy, quick and very tasty. I made exactly as posted and we all enjoyed it.

Very good! Just like my Mom used to make when I was a kid. After having prepared this sauce many times, I've found that adding a little more brown sugar suits my taste. I'd give this recipe more than 5 stars if I could! Thank you for posting!
