These are the best easy ham sauce recipes that I’ve ever had.

Oh, Christmas Ham, Oh Christmas Ham, and delicious ham dipping sauces… Who needs a song about a tree when you’ve got the world’s best brown sugar ham?!

My family has this funny way of eating ham, we eat it with applesauce. It is truly delicious. I mean, apples and pork are meant to be together and while many may not do actual applesauce they really should. We always use my mom’s homemade applesauce which is 10x better than any ol’ can. Or we did, until we found these ham dipping sauces.

My cousin, Robyn works as the manager for the LDS Church’s Catering and she is the one that introduced me to these easy ham dipping sauces.

I don’t know what it is about ham, but I just have to have a little sauce to dip it in.

Ingredients for Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce for Ham

This honey mustard recipe is my personal favorite, which is funny because I’m not a lover of mustard. I tell you what though, it is wonderful with the ham. DELIGHTFUL. You only need 3 simple ingredients:

• Mayonnaise: Duke’s is our favorite brand of mayo, but you can use whatever brand is your favorite.
• Honey: adds natural sweetness
• Mustard: Just regular yellow mustard is our preference, but you change up the flavor to your liking with dijon mustard, stone ground mustard, etc.

The measurements needed are listed in the recipe card below.

Ingredients for Pina Colada Dipping Sauce for Ham

The pina colada sauce is most everyone’s favorite. It’s so fun and creamy and pairs so well with the ham! Here is what you will need:

• Cream of Coconut: head to the alcohol section of your local grocery store and it will be by the margarita mixes
• Sour Cream: use full fat sour cream for maximum flavor and creaminess
• Crushed Pineapple: make sure you drain it before adding to the sauce
• Desiccated Coconut: has a more fine and powdery texture than shredded coconut and a milder flavor

Again, the measurements are listed in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Dipping Sauce For Ham

What Else to Use this Sauce On

If you have leftover sauce after eating all the ham, both of these sauces are great with veggies, crackers, pretzels or even with grilled chicken.

Storing Dipping Sauce for Ham

Both of these dipping sauces should be stored in the refrigerator in separate airtight containers. I always use mason jars to store them! They will keep for up to a week. I wouldn’t recommend freezing these sauces.

This they store so well, you can make them up to 3-4 days ahead of time too. One less thing to make for your holiday meal!

No one in our family can enjoy a ham without applesauce, homemade honey mustard, or piña colada sauce these days. Plus, pretty sauces on an Easter or Christmas dinner table perfectly complete the meal.
