Raisin Day

Buzz:  Did you know that it takes 4 pounds of grapes to yield one pound of raisins? 

One of my favorite raisin recipes is for this sauce which is delicious over ham:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 tablespoon white or cider vinegar
• 1 cup raisins soaked in 1 1/2 cups hot water
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cook together until thick and bubbly.
