Molasses Raisin Sauce for Leftover Holiday Ham image

From my Aunt Alta's recipe collection. This one is unique in that it is made specifically for your ham leftovers(in my case, after Christmas leftovers). You can also buy a ham steak, cook it however you like, and then serve this sauce ladled over the top of each portion. This version does not contain vinegar or mustard, but is instead molasses based. This is rather sweet. Servings are just an estimate.
