Spicy Currant Sauce for Ham image

This was handed down through the women in my family. We all love it, but I'm always amazed how many guests beg for the recipe saying that they have never tasted anything like it. The cloves and Worcestershire sauce give it a lovely kick. It keeps really well, so can be made days in advance. It is also a great (and easy) holiday gift.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This sauce was a waste of time. It was too sweet and not spicy at all. I ended up throwing it out.

The sauce was easy to make, but it didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices. I added some garlic and onion powder and it was much better.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

This sauce is amazing! I love the combination of sweet and spicy. It's perfect for ham, but I think it would also be great on chicken or pork.
