Cherry Dijon Glazed Ham Food

CHERRY DIJON-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Drain cherries, reserving syrup.
• Combine the cherry syrup, wine, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the mustard, the cornstarch and juice concentrate in small saucepan.
• Cook on medium-high heat until mixture thickens and starts to boil, stirring constantly.
• Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce; reserve for later use.
• Stir cherries into remaining sauce; cover.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Brush ham with remaining 1/4 cup mustard.
• Bake ham as directed on package (I think it says 20 minutes per pound), brushing occasionally with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce for the last 30 minute of the baking time.
• Meanwhile, cook cherry sauce on medium-low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Carve ham.
• Serve ham slices topped with the warm cherry sauce.

STICKY CHERRY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 160°C/320ºF.
• Place the ham in a large roasting dish. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary, apple juice and water. Cover tightly with foil and place in a preheated oven.
• Place in the oven and roast for 20 minutes per 500g/1lb. A 4kg/8lb ham/gammon will need 2 hours 40 minutes.
• When the ham is cooked, remove from the oven and turn the heat up to 200°C/390ºF.
• In a small saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and allow to come to the boil. Cook until the sugar has dissolved and the cherries are soft. Remove the cinnamon and ginger then blend with an immersion blender.
• Cut the skin off the gammon and cut a diamond pattern into the fat.
• Pour the glaze over the gammon and place back in the oven to cook for another 20-30 minutes.
• Allow the glaze to get sticky but check on it regularly as it can burn quickly. Glaze the ham once or twice while baking to allow the glaze to get thick and sticky. When the glaze is sticky and dark, remove from the oven.
• Allow the ham to cool for 30 minutes then slice and serve.

BAKED HAM WITH SPICED CHERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
• Score the top and sides of the ham with a small sharp knife in a crisscross pattern. Put the ham in the pan, pour 1/2 cup water or white wine into the bottom of the pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45 to 60 minutes.
• To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Transfer the cherry mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon zest.
• Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, until the ham is hot and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes longer. Remove the ham from the oven to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter and serve with the reserved glaze.

PERFECT GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Dry a bone-in, fully cooked half ham (do not use a country ham) and bring to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Trim the ham skin, leaving the fat intact. Score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, making the cuts about 3/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart. Put the ham flat-side down on a rack in a roasting pan; add 1 cup water. Bake on the lowest oven rack, 40 minutes, adding more water if the pan gets dry. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk 1 cup jam or marmalade with 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 cup dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce. Brush the ham with half of the glaze; cover loosely with foil and bake 45 more minutes. Brush with the remaining glaze and bake, uncovered, until the glaze is browned, 40 to 50 more minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before carving.
• Don't toss your ham bone! Add it to simmering soups, beans or braised greens for extra flavor.
• Give your ham a great crunch: Sprinkle one of the below mixes onto the glaze before the last 40 to 50 minutes of cooking.
• Spring Herb Mix 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), 3 tablespoons each chopped parsley and chives, and the grated zest of 1 lemon.
• Cornmeal-Thyme Crush 1 cup cornbread stuffing mix; toss with 2 tablespoons chopped thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander and 1/2 cup cornmeal.
• Spicy Sourdough Grind 3 cups cubed sourdough bread in a food processor; toss with 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1 bunch chopped scallions.
