Long lost recipe found

About 25 years ago when I was first dating my husband, he took me to the Greenbelt American Legion for a dinner dance. One of the items at the buffet table was sliced ham in a raisin sauce. It was so good and I looked for the sauce recipe for all these years. Yesterday while reading an old 1962 Family Circle magazine I found a recipe for the sauce.

Royal Raisin Sauce
Simmer 1 cup of raisins in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes.
Make a paste of 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 Tablespoons of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of salt,
2 Tablespoons cold water.
Add to raisins
Heat until thick.
Remove from heat. Add 1 Table spoon of butter, 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice.
Mix well.
Serve on ham.

I collect old magazines from the 1950s - 1970s. The old ads are interesting to see how our lives have changed over the years. Low fat was not heard of nor nutritional labeling. The old recipes are made from scratch, no mixes or frozen foods.
I think I will go fix salad for lunch. Enjoy your day, life.

Life

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out and proclaiming
"Wow, What a RIDE!!!"
