Country Ham Relish Recipes

CHEESY COUNTRY HAM DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham slices on a microwave-safe dish lined with paper towels. Cover the ham with a damp paper towel and microwave on low heat until the ham is slightly crisp on the edges and the fat is absorbed in the paper towels, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the ham from the microwave and discard the paper towels. Using two forks, shred the ham into small bite-size pieces. Place the ham into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the cream cheese, Cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, shallot and 1 teaspoon black pepper to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Spread the ham and cheese mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the pecans, butter and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the seasoned pecans over the ham and cheese dip.
• Bake the dip until hot and bubbly around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with butter crackers, corn tortilla and celery.

PEACH GLAZED HAM WITH PEACH CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Score fat side on ham in a diamond design. Put the ham, fat side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch the fat or the bone. Bake uncovered until the meat thermometer registers 135 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Combine the peach preserves, mustard, hot sauce and ground cloves in a small bowl, to make a glaze. Whisk until smooth. Remove the ham from oven and brush with the glaze. Bake until the meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes.
• Arrange the ham on a platter and surround it with the peach halves. Spoon the relish into the peach halves, and serve.
• Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard, mustard seed, and turmeric in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the corn, onion, and bell peppers; cook for 4 minutes. Add a pinch of cloves and stir to combine. Serve hot or cold.
