Baked Ham With Raspberry And Dijon Mustard Glaze Recipes

CHRISTMAS HAM WITH RASPBERRY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Mix together the preserves and mustard in a small bowl and set aside.
• Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/8 inch deep. Bake according to the package instructions, 2 1/2 hours or longer. About 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, remove the ham from the oven and brush the glaze onto it. Cook until it's nice and glossy. Repeat with another layer of glaze if desired.
• Serve the remaining glaze in a dish alongside the ham.

BAKED HAM WITH RASPBERRY AND DIJON MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Purée the berries with their juices in a blender or food processor, and pass the purée through a fine-mesh sieve. You should have about 1 cup purée.
• Stir together the raspberry purée, red currant jelly, and Dijon mustard in a saucepan over medium heat until the jelly dissolves. Boost the heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside to use as a glaze. You should have just about 3 cups.
• Place the ham, fatty side up, in a roasting pan. Peel off the skin and trim off most of the fat. Score the remaining fat in a diamond pattern. Rub the brown sugar over the surface.
• Roast the ham for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour the water over the ham. Spoon 1 cup of the glaze over the ham, and return it to the oven. Bake for 2 1/2 hours longer, basting every 15-20 minutes with the pan juices and adding 1/3 cup of the raspberry glaze in the process until it is all used up.
• Line a large platter with the kale and parsley and place ham on it. Carve at the table.
