"Raisin Sauce for Ham
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup water
5 cloves
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon corn starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch pepper
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon vinegar*
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Cover raisins with water, add cloves and simmer for 10 minutes then add sugar, cornstarch, salt and pepper, which have been mixed together. Stir constantly until slightly thick and then add remaining ingredients."
*Judging from similar recipes I've found, this should be white vinegar. Also other recipes appear to use lemon juice and dry mustard in lieu of worcestershire sauce.
Initials in the upper right hand corner read (I think) "D. I. G." Marcy (mother-in-love) Graham (nee Bixby) believes that this may origniate from the Gregg family on the Avery side.
And, as an added bonus for today's blog readers, here are some pictures of ham that my husband painted. No extra charge.
