Now just why is it that a raisin lover such as myself has never come up with a sauce such as this? Can't tell you, but I CAN tell you that this sauce is OUTSTANDING! I didn't make it for a baked ham dinner, exactly, but rather to include on thick deli-sliced honey baked ham! I often eat the slices in a tortilla wrap, & this sauce is great that way, as long as it's made thick enough! Thanks for this great recipe!

My mother used to make this whenever she bought a ham steak. She'd make the sauce, then warm the ham right in it. So good!

This was excellent! I wanted something more savory, so the spices (especially the mustard( were perfect.

Not only is this sauce so easy to make it is delicious. Followed the recipe exactly except I cut it in half. Definitely a do again recipe. I served it with ham steaks but it will be perfect with a baked ham. Thanks Bev for posting

This was delicious...not too sweet, and I loved the spice mixture with the raisins. I used lemon juice instead of vinegar, but otherwise made as indicated.
