Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, consider using peach or mango preserves instead of pineapple for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of horseradish. This sauce can also be used as a glaze for roasted vegetables or drizzled over grilled chicken. Make sure to beat the apple jelly until completely smooth to ensure an even texture.
Serving Suggestions
This Jezebel Sauce is perfect for ham but also complements roasted pork or turkey beautifully. Serve it alongside a fresh Raspberry-Apple Salad for a burst of flavor. It pairs well with sides like Bavarian Potatoes(Non-Dairy) or Pickled Cauliflower for a balanced meal. Consider adding a dollop to a cheese platter for a unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Jezebel Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, give it a good stir as it may separate slightly during storage. If you want to reheat it, do so gently in a saucepan over low heat to prevent burning, stirring frequently until warmed through.
