How to Make Raisin Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in the mustard-flour mixture until well combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the raw flour taste disappears.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of raisins. Continue to simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the raisins to plump.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm over your favorite meat.
