    Jezebel sauce.

    Jezebel sauce is a deliciously sweet and spicy sauce perfect to serve as an appetizer over a block of cream cheese with crackers.

    This spicy sauce is made with only a few simple ingredients and is perfect to serve at parties as an appetizer, but don't limit yourself to that. You can use it as a glaze on ham, or chicken, or as a dipping sauce for shrimp, as well as a phenomenal condiment on turkey and ham sandwiches!

    What is it?

    Jezebel sauce is a noticeably sweet Southern sauce, named after the Biblical queen, that has been around since the 1950s. It is made with a mixture of apple jelly and pineapple preserves. However, a generous kick of horseradish and Dijon mustard add a nose-clearing punch to the taste buds.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    Showing ingredients for Jezebel sauce.
    • Apple jelly
    • Pineapple preserves - Apricot preserves are occasionally substituted for pineapple and/or apple jelly.
    • Prepared horseradish - Add more or less to taste.
    • Dijon mustard - Ground mustard powder is commonly used instead. Add dry mustard to taste. Prepared yellow mustard can be used as well.
    • Ground black pepper - I recommend fresh ground pepper rather than pre-ground.

    Customize this sauce by adding rum, lemon juice, or even hot sauce.

    How to make it
