It should not go without saying the mystery spice pack, requiring only water, offered with your Easter ham should probably never be used. Insert drum roll for a simple and must have sauce to serve with your Easter ham . . . a 15 minute Raisin Sauce.
This recipe comes straight from the Easter family table of Robyn Jones, publisher of Berks County Living and was published on my “Phoebe Savors Berks, BCL Style” blog. Robyn says, “Easter just wouldn’t be the same in my family without raisin sauce for the ham. It is delicious!” If you know Robyn you know this is a must try. I trust her food judgement and not so much the just add water sauce.

- 6 cloves or ½ tsp. ground cloves
- 1 cup water
