Apple Raisin Sauce
From: An Apple A Day... Cookbooklet p.52
personal note:
This recipe is such a great condiment and compliment to your holiday baked ham. After taking it to the family Christmas holiday banquet last year, I had many requests to e-mail the recipe out to most family members. Do make it for your baked ham dinner, you'll be glad you did!
Apple Raisin Sauce
2 Cups unsweetened apple juice
1 (4-serving) pkg Jell-O sugar-free vanilla cook-and-serve pudding mix
1 tsp. Jo's Apple Pie Spice
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 Cup raisins
In a medium saucepan, combine apple juice, dry pudding mix, and Jo's Apple Pie Spice. Stir in lemon juice and raisins. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and starts to boil, stirring often. Place saucepan on a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm over ham, chicken, OR vanilla sugar-and fat-free ice cream.
Hints:
1. Substitute any reputable brand for JO's Apple Pie Spice.
2. Re-warms beautifully in the microwave.
3. To plump raisins without 'cooking, place a glass measuring cup and microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds.
Serves 8 (1/4 cup)

another personal note:
I don't use or buy cook-and-serve pudding mix. Per JoAnna (NL 7-97 p.7, Q&A ), in place of cook and serve vanilla pudding mix, I use:
2 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1/2 C Splenda
and I'm not sure why the plumping hint in this one. The raisins do plump and they do get cooked. At any rate, its a keeper of a recipe!
