Delectable Ham Sauce

Ham always seems to end up on my Holiday menu, and at our house ham equals ham sauce. A Great Friend shared this recipe years ago. It has been on the menu ever since. It is light and creamy with a bit of a twang! It is delicious poured over a hot slice of  ham (or turkey), but is delightful the next day spread on rolls for sandwiches. It is even a tasty dip for  Little Smokies, cheese slices, or Summer Sausage. It will stay good in the fridge for a week.

Mustard Sauce

1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda)

1/2 cup white distilled or apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup milk

3 tablespoons dry mustard powder

2 teaspoons cornstarch

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

In a medium saucepan combine sugar, mustard powder, and cornstarch. Whisk together vinegar, milk, and beaten egg. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Cook over medium heat; stirring constantly until sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Take sauce off of heat and stir in butter until thoroughly combined. Refridgerate leftovers.
