Are you making a ham this holiday? If so, make this mustard sauce, too. It is so delicious and so simple to prepare — it’s a matter of bringing a few ingredients to a boil and then passing the mixture through a strainer. It’s fantastic for leftover ham sandwiches.

In my family, this mustard sauce is as essential as the ham on the holiday table. It’s another one of those saucesyour guests will want to bathe in.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons dry mustard
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place a strainer over a medium-sized bowl (able to hold about 2 cups of liquid). Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while monitoring closely and stirring often. As soon as the mixture comes to boil, pour it through the strainer into the bowl. Let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
![In the March 2009 issue of Gourmet, Ruth Reichl describes this warm sesame tofu as: “a beautiful dish, which takes ten minutes, costs very little, and is so utterly delicious”.It truly is. The method calls for simmering tofu in water, making a simple sesame-scallion sauce, and pouring the sauce over the warm tofu, which gets custard-like in texture during its warm water bath. Over a decade later, I still have that issue of Gourmet (hoarder), I’m still making the tofu, and it’s still one of my favorite ways to eat it. So simple and good. 💯Recipe linked in bio, how-to in stories 🤗[alexandracooks.com]#ruthreichl @ruthreichl 💗](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA+gAAAIwAQMAAAAvd9NRAAAAA1BMVEX///+nxBvIAAAAaElEQVR42uzBgQAAAACAoP2pF6kCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOD24JAAAAAAQND/186wAAAAAAAAAAAAAKsAE68AAcs4QCMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=)
