Okay so I found a sauce I wanted to make yesterday, and now I can't find it. Does anyone have a sauce they use for roast ham that isn't laden with sugar?

I have in the past made an old fashioned onion sauce, Sauce Soubise, and added Dijon mustard to it to serve with hot ham. I like the version that is thickened with rice.
I'll see if I can find a recipe for you. I think I used a recipe from Elizabeth David, so I'll have a look through her books.

Found it! In Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book. Thanks for the reminder - I haven't made this in years and it is really delicious with any grilled meat.
750g onions, chopped 40g butter 150g Arborio rice 750 ml light chicken or veal stock salt, pepper 60g butter 150 ml double cream 2 tab Dijon mustard (optional)
Put onions in a pan and cover with boiling water. Cook 3 min and drain. Return to pan and add first measure of butter and rice. Stew gently for a few minutes, stirring. Add stock, salt and pepper, simmer uncovered until rice is very soft and tender. Sieve. Reheat with second measure of butter and cream, add mustard, check seasoning, serve hot.

Yes I have used one similar to this from one of Jo Segar's books and its great. I wanted a hot sauce to serve hot tho. Davidt4's was right on the button. Was amazing. The boys ate more ham and sauce that I thought humanly possible lol. Was a great night. Apart from losing the rugby.
