Bertha's Mustard Plum Sauce
Whenever Bertha (my mother-in-law) serves ham for dinner, she'll always prepare a simple mustard plum sauce to accompany it. I think the only people that eat the sauce are Dick (my father-in-law), Bertha, and myself. All of her kids shun the sauce like the plague, but I'm not sure why... it is delicious. Bertha prepares her mustard plum sauce using one part yellow mustard and one part her homemade plum jam... however, I have made a slight variation to her original:

3 tbs Bertha's homemade plum jam (or equivalent)
1 tbs raspberry jam
1 tbs stone ground coarse grained mustard (or dijon mustard if desired)
1 tbs Inglehoffer sweet hot mustard (or equivalent)

The measurement for the sweet hot mustard is a rough approximation; some brands are a little hotter than others. So add a little more (or a little less) according to taste. Serve at room temperature.
