Treat your ingredients with care...

- Apple jelly — Opt for a smooth apple jelly without any large fruit chunks for a smoother sauce consistency.
- Horseradish — Adjust the amount of horseradish according to your preference for spiciness. Add more for an extra kick or reduce for a milder flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- For a smoother sauce, you can strain the Jezebel Sauce after cooking to remove any fruit or spice particles.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less red pepper flakes according to your taste preference.
- Experiment with different types of mustard, such as whole grain or spicy brown, to add a unique twist to the sauce.
- Store the Jezebel Sauce in the refrigerator for up to two weeks for optimal freshness.
- Serve the sauce at room temperature to allow the flavors to fully develop.
