Aunt Ruthie's Raisin Sauce
Ten minutes. That's it. That's all it takes to make this tangy, sweet sauce flavored with lemon and full of plump raisins. One saucepan and almost zero effort is all that's needed to get this sauce ready and on the table to serve with baked ham. I love it and I hope you will too.
