HAM WITH MIXED FRUIT

Steps:

THE BEST HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and trim off any skin. If your ham is not a spiral-cut ham, use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat.
• Place the ham, flat side down, on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup water into the pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound-reduce the time to 10 minutes per pound for a spiral-cut ham).
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, orange zest and juice, Dijon, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, onion powder and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half (you should have 1 cup glaze), 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until the ham is ready.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush half of the glaze over the ham. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add 1 cup water. Return the ham to the oven and roast for 30 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 10 minutes (two more times) before returning to the oven.
• Let the ham cool for 15 minutes before thinly slicing.

FRUIT-GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
• Cover and bake at 325 for 1 1/2 hours.
• Combine the pineapple, apricot jam, mustard and horseradish. Spread over ham.
• Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140.

FIG GLAZED HAM WITH DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour the fig jam and the white wine into a medium saucepot. Stir to combined. Cook over medium-low heat until thicken, about 5 minutes.
• While the glaze is reducing, score the ham. Slice ham diagonally approximately 1/2 an inch deep. From left to right and then right to left, making diamonds on top of the ham.
• Press a clove into the center of each diamond.
• Place ham in roasting pan, on cooking rack. Bake for 1 hour.
• Reserve half of the glaze and set aside. To the remaining half add the dried dates, apricots, golden raisins and the mustard. Simmer and rehydrate the dried fruit for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Reheat just before serving with ham.
• Remove ham from oven. Apply the reserved glaze liberally to ham, return to oven and bake for another 30 minutes or until the glaze begins to turn brown and caramelize.
• Remove the ham, cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with compote.

TROPICAL FRUIT-GLAZED HAM WITH SWEET ONIONS AND YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Set over high heat, bring to a boil, and boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the fruit along with the juice from the can, the brown sugar, soy sauce, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer until the liquid thickens and reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the ham slices and potatoes and simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Serve.
