Easter conjures a lot of different images for people- church, the cross, Jesus Christ, eggs, candy, bunnies, family, ham, lamb, and… well you tell me what else.

I guess my top three would be singing Morning Son by James Ward, eating a few a box of Cadbury eggs, and having ham with my Great-great-Grandmother’s mustard sauce.

Today I spoke to my Grandmother and asked her if she would mind me sharing this recipe with the internet. As far as she knows, it was a sauce her Grandmother (my Great-Great-Grandmother) learned to make and now it has been passed down to my generation. When I told her how much it the mustard sauce meant to me, she said I was welcome to share it.

I think I like this because of the hint of apple from the cider vinegar. And it is well established I love all kinds of mustard. If you choose to make this some day, please let me know how you liked it.
