Jezebel Sauce

Jezebel sauce is one of those Southern recipes that you might only know if you've visited certain restaurants or live in specific regions (like along the Gulf Coast). But once you try it, you'll always want a jar of this special in your fridge.

Jezebel sauce's primary ingredients—pineapple preserves, apple jelly, dry mustard, and, provide a spicy kick and fruity sweetness. It's sharp and pungent, but the preserves and jelly take the edge off, so it's great for feeding a crowd.

Learn how to make jezebel sauce. We like to make a batch ahead of time—it's better after it's had a day for the flavors to meld—and then serve it over top a block of cream cheese, the same way you would.
