Mustard Sauce for Ham

This mustard sauce is a must have when you’re serving ham! Easy to make, it keeps for a long time, and it’s perfect as a dipping sauce or on a sandwich!

This mustard sauce for ham is a staple for my family. If you serve a ham at a family function and don’t have any ham sauce with it….there will be angry people.

Okay, maybe not angry. But people will definitely wonder why you would do such a thing. Because ham needs ham sauce. Obviously.

Although, I’ll be honest – I never even tried it until recently. It had mustard in it so why would I want to ruin my perfectly good ham by putting ham sauce on it?

And then I grew up and decided that there has to be a reason that everyone likes this mustard sauce for ham.

Actually that’s not true. I made the ham for a family function so I had to make ham sauce. And, well, if I’m making it I figured I should probably at least try it.

You know, do what I’m always telling my kids to do, and try something before deciding I don’t like it.

Turns out, my family isn’t crazy, and this easy mustard sauce for ham is actually pretty fantastic.

I don’t even like mustard (which is why I never wanted to try it in the first place) and I really enjoyed it.

It’s easy to make, lasts for a really long time, and tastes great – either to serve with ham or on a ham sandwich.

It’s a bit like a sweet and sour mustard flavoured sauce that goes perfectly with ham. I’m kind of regretting all those years of ignoring that little jar sitting beside the ham now.

Is dry mustard and ground mustard the same thing?

Yes, dry mustard and ground mustard are the same thing. I always buy this dry mustard, but any kind will work. It may be labelled as ground mustard or powdered mustard.
