Oven-Roasted Cranberry-Dijon Glazed Ham #Christmas #dinner

Ain’t nothin higher than an oven-roasted selfmade ham glaze I say. This recipe uses sparkling cranberries, which means it’s best for the vacation season! i like the zing that the dijon mustard provides too. This recipe that shows you how to glaze a ham is splendid easy to throw together!

Out of sheer laziness, Eric and i have managed to convince our kids that “milk-water” is a aspect. Like if they end their milk at dinner and want a few water, we don’t rinse out the cup. tonight I poured Charlotte’s water for her and he or she is going, “It looks as if a swamp!” Why sure pricey. sure it does. Drink up.

Oven-Roasted Cranberry-Dijon Glazed Ham

Serves Serves sixteen-20    

Ingredients:

•  2 cups sparkling cranberries
•  1/four cup water
•  1/four cup honey
•  2 tablespoons dijon mustard
•  1/four cup apple cider vinegar
•  1/2 cup brown sugar
•  half of teaspoon cayenne pepper
•  five-6 pound cooked ham (I used a sliced spiral ham)

Instructions:

1. Integrate cranberries, water, and honey in a medium saucepan. Set over medium warmness.
2. Stir once in a while for approximately four-5 minutes, until maximum of the cranberries have popped.
3. Upload dijon mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper.
4. Maintain to cook for every other 3-5 minutes till the sauce has thickened a few and is syrupy. get rid of from warmth.
5. When you have an immersion blender, use it to puree the sauce. (if you don't, switch the combination to a ordinary blender. depart the top of the blender vented (to allow steam to escape) and cover with a towel. mixture it up till smooth.)
6. Preheat your oven to 325 tiers F. prepare a roasting pan with a roasting rack in order that the ham would not prepare dinner in it's very own juices (you need a pleasing crispy bottom, no soggy ham bottoms please.)
7. Region the ham at the roasting rack and use a sharp serrated knife to score the ham diagonally.
8. Use a brush to coat the ham throughout with the cranberry sauce. (you'll repeat this procedure over again about 20 mins earlier than the ham is finished.)
9. Location the pan in the oven and roast for 1 and 1/2 to two and 1/4 hours, or until a thermometer registers a hundred thirty five levels F. (approximately 20-25 minutes in keeping with pound). (You do not need to worry approximately the temperature an excessive amount of for the reason that ham is already cooked. You just want to ensure it is hot all of the way via.
10. 20 mins before you believe you studied it will be performed, brush with sauce one extra time.
11. Serve the ham with the ultimate glaze (warm it up in the microwave or at the range given that it will likely be cool with the aid of now.)
