Raisin Sauce for Ham

By: Lavonne Hartel 
"The raisins cook up plump and soft in this savory golden sauce that will dress up ham for Easter dinner or anytime. A tart hint of lemon balances the fruit's sweetness. You can mix up this delicious accompaniment in minutes. --Lavonne Hartel Williston, North Dakota"
