Perfect as written!
Best mustard sauce ever. I used white wine vinegar.
It was okay. It was missing kick. I doctored it up a little.
I made this to go with Christmas ham. I loved it. Unfortunately, I was one of the only ones in my household who did.
used red wine vinegar. Used with salmon patties
As others, no tarragon vinegar so I used white. I’m more of a savory guy so I cut the sugar to below 1/2 cup, (eyeballed). The sauce was excellent with ham, it cut the saltiness, while the sweetness and vinegar balanced out. I would probably still cut the sugar a bit more to probably 1/3 cup. It was very good.
The sauce was easy to make and quite delicious.
Subbed apple cider vinegar and added a teaspoon of Montreal Steak seasoning. Amazing
I often make a ham sauce out of prepared mustard and light brown sugar. It is good, but I wanted something more this time. I couldn’t find tarragon vinegar in the supermarket, so I took another reviewer’s advice and used apple cider vinegar. The sauce turned out fine. I noticed that some reviewers thought the recipe used too much sugar, but I went ahead and used what was called for. Now I’m wondering if I had used about a third brown sugar and two-thirds white sugar the sauce would have had a bit more oomph. I’m going to try that next time.
I made this recipe as per the recipe and we loved it. I will definitely make this again,
so good:) highly recommend for ham dishes.
I made this twice–the first time, I followed the exact recipe and the sauce was ridiculously sweet–so I halved the sugar and it was absolutely perfect, sweet and deeelish. Will be making this every time I serve ham. All my guests at Christmas dinner raved about it. Thanks for a great recipe.
So this recipe was ok, but just way too sweet. The sugar needs to be dropped down and the mustard powder increased to make this a repeat recipe. Also, in the end it ended up just an off white color, way too thick and again, sweet.
A tasty mustard sauce. It is on the sweet side, which goes nicely with the salty ham. I had to substitute white vinegar and added 1/8 tsp tarragon.
Awesome sauce! Everyone loved it….even the teens. Thank you
Like some other reviewers, I did not have tarragon vinegar, so I used white vinegar. I also added an extra tbsp of sugar, just for preference of taste. It came out great and it was a hit! Thanks for the recipe!
This was a very nice sauce for ham although a little too sweet. I made the recipe as written except for the tarragon vinegar. However next time I would decrease the sugar by 30% and increase the powdered mustard about 20% . I used red wine vinegar and 1/4 tsp of dried tarragon as I did not have tarragon vinegar. My husband liked it as it was.
I swapped Half & Half for the milk and added an extra tablespoon of mustard power… Family loved it and so did mom!
Made this today and used as a dipping sauce for Ham Croquettes (also on this site). Yumalicious! I agree with another reviewer that next time I will cut back on the sugar (personal preference), but this recipe will be used at our house regularly.
My family didn’t care for this
Halved the recipe and only used 1/4 cup sugar. Still way too sweet for our liking. Not quite what I expected. My family thought the flavor was a little overwhelming on our delicious ham.
