Featured Recipe for April
Baked Ham with Citrus and Brown Sugar-Honey Glaze
Enjoy this Easter with a classic brown sugar and honey recipe with a splash of citrus and hint of cloves. The smells and colors of mint and blood orange offer a hint of spring.
Total Time: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Serves 10-12
Ingredients
1 7-8 pound fully cooked sliced ham
¼ Whole cloves
1¼ Cup brown sugar
½ Stick butter
½ Cup orange blossom honey
2 Medium oranges, juiced
Garnish
6 Sprigs of mint
1 Blood orange, sectioned
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C).
2. Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Pat dry and let sit for about 10 minutes.
3. Wrap the ham with foil and place in shallow roasting pan for 1 hour.
4. Combine the orange juice and brown sugar in a sauce pan and place over medium heat. Stirring constantly, when the brown sugar has dissolved, add the butter, honey, and cloves. Stir until the sauce is smooth and has thickened. Remove cloves.
5. After 1 hour, remove the ham from the oven and remove foil.
6. Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. (190 degrees C).
7. Pour about half of the sauce over the ham and use a spatula to cover the exposed surfaces.
8. Place in the over for 20 minutes, uncovered.
9. Remove the ham again to pour the remaining sauce over the ham and use a spatula to cover the exposed surfaces.
8. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, uncovered. The ham should be sufficiently browned and sauce caramelized.
9. Remove the ham from the oven and using a meat thermometer, ensure the inside temperature is 165 F (74 C).
10. Let the ham stand 15 minutes. The sauce should slightly cool to form a light, sweet crust.
11. When ready to serve, place the ham on a serving platter and garnish with sprigs of mint and sections of blood oranges.
