Ham with Raisin Sauce

Ham
Place the ham with the cut side facing up in a Dutch oven. Fill 3/4 quarters with cold water. Put on the lid. Place in a 350 degree oven. Cooking time may due to the size of the ham, the telltale sign that cooked when the bone is sticking out.
Put vegetables about an hour before it is done,
Raisin Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard - dry, Dijon or prepared
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 cup raisins
1 lemon zest (finely grated)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups ham stock
1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cold water to mix with cornstarch
2 tablespoon butter
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, ham stock, and mustard. Bring to a boil
Gradually add the vinegar, raisins, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add to the mixture, stirring constantly until all ingredients are well combined.
Combine the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Add slowly into the mixture stirring constantly to ensure that it doesn't lump or go straight to the bottom.
Continue cooking the raisin sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is thick, clear, and bubbly, for at least 10 minutes.
Serve over the ham.
* Great with sweet potatoes
