Applesauce Honey Ham Recipes

APPLESAUCE HONEY HAM

Steps:

• Remove any visible fat from the steaks. Coat the grill with cooking spray and preheat for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the applesauce, honey, ginger and cinnamon. Place the ham in the grill and top with the applesauce honey mixture. The applesauce honey mixture will melt and run into the drip tray. Grill the ham for 3-4 minutes, or until heated through. Watch carefully to make sure the applesauce does not burn. To serve, place the ham on individual plates and top with the melted applesauce.

BAKED HONEY HAM

Steps:

HONEY ROASTED APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, remove the core and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high heat with the butter in it. When the butter begins to brown add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the apples and salt. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges just begin to color. Add the honey and put in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the apples are soft and lightly caramelized.
• Mash with a fork for a chunky version, or put in food processor for a smoother sauce. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
• Cook's Notes: Most applesauce recipes call for cooking the apples on the stovetop from start to finish. I prefer to start them on the stovetop and then finish them in a hot oven. The oven heat concentrates their flavors by drying and caramelizing them slightly. Although I have suggested a couple of apple varieties, you can use what good cooking apples are available in your area.

HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in foil lined pan.
• In the top half of a double boiler, heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
• Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.
