1 5-ounce jar apple jelly, 1 5-ounce jar pineapple preserves, 1/3 cup prepared horseradish, 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Pour the mixture into an airtight container or jar and place it in the refrigerator. While the sauce can be used immediately, allowing it to chill overnight helps the flavors meld together, resulting in a more balanced and robust taste.

Notes

To Customize the Heat Level, vary the amount of horseradish and crushed red pepper to suit your taste.

For Maximum Flavor Development, allow the sauce to refrigerate overnight, enhancing the melding of flavors, resulting in a more robust taste.

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, Jezebel Sauce can last up to two weeks. Do not freeze.
