Jezebel Sauce
If you've never had this wonder sauce, you need to try it out. I had read about if for a few years and had even seen it referred to on television before I decided to make a batch. What is it? Jezebel sauce is sweet, spicy, and savory all at once. It puts you in the mind of a honey mustard on steroids.
It contains a varied bunch of ingredients that don't normally share the flavor platform. It is best when served at a party by placing a block of cream cheese on a platter and pouring a couple of cups of Jezebel sauce over it. You guests can then scoop the mixture with crackers. The cream cheese tempers the feistiness of the Jezebel nicely. I have also seen recipes using the sauce with pork or chicken.
It is quite easy to put together, and I keep it refrigerated between servings. This is my version of the recipe, I was torn between apricot or pineapple preserves for the second ingredient, some recipes call for either. I found that Walmart actually carries an apricot/pineapple preserve mixture that worked wonderfully. I hope you enjoy making and eating this sauce, it is great for parties and adding a little zest to baked chicken, pork loin, or something similar. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
12 oz apple jelly
12 oz pineapple/apricot preserves
½ cup horseradish
3 tbsp dry mustard
1 tbsp coarse ground black pepper
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp Tony Chacere's Creole Seasoning
Mix the jelly and preserves in a bowl, stir in horseradish and blend thoroughly. Mix the dry mustard, black and cayenne peppers, and creole seasoning in a bag or bowl, dump it into the jelly mix, and whisk it together well. Refrigerator until ready to use. CLICK HERE to download the recipe.

I've had it at parties. But, I don't think it was this recipe. Looks good.
