Notes
Sharon's Expert Tips:
To serve, spoon the sauce over a block of cream cheese and serve with crackers
For the best flavor, let the sauce sit in the refrigerator overnight to allow time for the flavors to come together. This sauce will keep, covered, in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Flavor variations include replacing the pineapple preserves with apricot preserves or the dry mustard with Creole or whole-grain mustard. Jezebel sauce makes a wonderful glaze for ham, pork tenderloin, or roasted chicken. Brush on during the last ten minutes of cooking and let the oven do its magic. You can reduce the heat in this dish by adding less horseradish. Even though it seems like a lot, the amount of horseradish called for in this recipe works perfectly. I encourage you to try it just as it's written. Nutritional information is for one cup of sauce.
