Do not be deceived by the blend. Since my great-grandmother Murphy first shared the recipe, this sweet-tangy sauce has been passed down through my family. It is a great enhancement to your traditional St. Patrick’s Day dinner. Pour over the potatoes, cabbage, and pork!

Reviews
I used green pepper jelly instead of
Superb. I read the reviews saying it used too much tomato sauce, so I started with half a cup. It needed some more however, so I added a good slurp of tomato sauce. This will be a sauce I use for many meals. It would be great with Lamb or with Turkey, even. Try it; you will love it.
I agree with the other reviewer in the fact there was too much ketchup. Other than that, this was a good sauce.
reminds me of a sauce my childhood sweethearts mother Audrey use to make.
Too much of a ketchupy taste for me, didn’t care for the combination of ingredients. I also tried it with lamb as well as with the corned beef and didn’t like it with the lamb either.
Very tasty….don’t let the combination of ingredients fool you…my family of five with three teenaged boys gave a BIG thumbs up.
This sauce was great for our St. Patty’s Day dinner. I didn’t have any mint jelly so I substituted black cherry jam and it was wonderful and tangy!
I just loved this & didn’t think it could get any better! Kudos to Great Grandma Murphy! Being a mustard fan I took a small amount & stirred some in & it was like heaven! I will keep & use this often!
Excellent sauce! I made the recipe just as printed, and it’s great with the corned beef! Thank you for posting this one!
Very simple to throw together and my family loved it on our St. Patrick’s day corned beef.
Tangy & Delicious! We used this on our corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day! Yum! Dying to try this with meatloaf!
