My DH loves raisin sauce on his ham. I make it for him on Thanksgiving usually.

My recipe is similiar to yours but it doesn't call for currant jelly. Does it make a big difference in the taste??

I guess it just makes it a little sweeter and helps with the thickening of the sauce a bit. I've never made it without it so not sure! LOL
