Ginger Honey Mustard Food

HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/8 inch deep. Stud the top of the ham with the cloves, then put it in a roasting pan with a rack, tent it with foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Heat the honey, ginger ale, mustard and vinegar in a small saucepan until bubbly. Cook until reduced and a bit thicker, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the foil and brush the glaze on the ham. Return it to the oven for 15 minutes. Repeat once more. Remove it from the oven and let it rest/cool slightly.

GINGER DIJON SALMON

Steps:

• Spray baking sheet or pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Mix olive oil, ginger, dijon mustard and honey in small bowl or measuring cup.
• Brush salmon with glaze, and place on baking sheet or pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 15- 20 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily.
• Note: If using a whole fillet (1/2 a salmon), cooking time may take a little longer, if using small, individual serving size fillets, cooking time may be a little shorter.

MISO HONEY DRESSING

Steps:

• Place soy sauce, miso paste, lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red chile paste in a food processor or blender; begin processing on low speed. Keeping processor running, slowly stream honey into food processor until smooth. Slowly stream sesame oil into mixture until evenly combined. Slowly stream olive oil into food processor until dressing is smooth.

GINGER-MUSTARD BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk ginger ale, yellow mustard, and Dijon mustard in a medium saucepan to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; reduce heat to low and gently simmer 3 minutes. Whisk in ginger, garlic, onion, honey, sugar, salt, vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors have come together and sauce is very fragrant, 15-20 minutes. Let cool before using. Do ahead: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.

HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GRILLED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the soy, garlic, ginger, scallions, honey, Dijon, wine and oil. Toss with pork to coat well and let marinate for at least 4 hours, refrigerated. Pull the pork out of the marinade. Place marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil and reduce by 25 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, in a large, hot saute pan coated lightly with oil, pan sear the pork until brown on all sides, about 10 to12 minutes total. Glaze the pork every 3 to 4 minutes with the reduced marinade. In a large bowl, mix together the eggplant, zucchini, pepper, onion, sweet potato and fennel. Toss lightly with oil, season and place on hot grill. Cook vegetables until done, chop into 1-inch pieces and check for flavor.
• PLATING: On a dinner plate using an o-ring mold (3-inch diameter by 2 inches tall or a tuna fish can) fill with grilled veggies. Cut each tenderloin into 3 petit fillets and drizzle with reduced marinade.

GINGER ALE - HONEY MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
• 2. I slow cooked an 8 1/2 lb ham in a shallow roasting pan for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I added just a cup of ginger ale to the shallow pan and tented the ham with foil.
• 3. Prepare glaze: 30 minutes before ham is done cooking, make your glaze in a separate bowl, 3/4 cup of prepared mustard (French's, dijon... whatever your taste), 1/2 cup of honey and a 1/2 cup of light brown sugar.
• 4. Take ham out of the oven and score the top and smother with glaze. Put back in the oven for at least 10 minutes and add more glaze if desired. Or, what I did was spoon the ginger ale juices back over the glazed ham. Let cook for another 10 minutes and should be ready to serve.
• 5. As it shows in the picture, I made a side of garlic sour cream mashed potatoes and peas simmered in the ginger ale juice from the ham.

HONEY-GINGER GLAZED HAM

• Remove ham from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring to room temperature.
• Put ham in a roasting pan and place on a rack.
• Using a knife, score fat on top in a diamond pattern.
• Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• Brush about 3/4 of honey mixture on ham with a pastry brush.
• Bake 2 hours, basting with remaining mixture and pan drippings every 45 minutes.
• Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.

JAPANESE GINGER SALAD DRESSING
