Classic Southern Jezebel Sauce
Description
Classic Southern Jezebel Sauce brings together sweet apple jelly and pineapple preserves as a fruity base, mixed vigorously with prepared horseradish and dry mustard powder. The horseradish and mustard provide sharp heat and pungency that cut through the sweetness, resulting in a balanced sauce with a kick.
The mixture is refrigerated for several hours to allow the flavors to blend fully before serving. Jezebel sauce is a traditional accompaniment to dishes such as ham, roast beef, or cold cuts, offering a spicy-sweet complement. Care should be taken when serving to children due to the sauce's spicy ingredients.
The sauce stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. It also freezes safely for up to six months if stored in a freezer-safe container with space for expansion.

- ½ cup apple jelly

Instructions
