Honey Glazed Ham With Dried Cranberry Relish Recipes

HONEY CRANBERRY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Remove your ham from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours so it can warm up.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Make sure oven racked is at the bottom. Remove the rack from the roasting pan and add the star anise and a handful of whole cloves to the pan. Fill with an inch of water. Place rack back in.
• If ham is wet and slimy, gently pat dry with a paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the ham diagonally. Place ham flat face down onto the rack and tightly cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
• Add cranberries, honey, water and orange juice to a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally until most cranberries pop and mixture begins to boil, about 5-6 mins.
• Add orange zest (optional), cayenne, mustard, vinegar and brown sugar and stir until smooth.
• Allow to cook for another 3-5 mins or until sauce thickens up. Either using an immersion blender, a regular blender or a food processor, blend sauce until it's nice and smooth. Set aside.
• Once the ham has finished pre-baking, remove from the oven and remove the foil. Brush the entire ham with a coat of glaze, return to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
• Continue to re-glaze the ham every 20 minutes until it's finished baking. Make sure the internal temperature is around 130°F - 140°F. The baking time is 18-20 minutes per pound, so baking times may vary. See information in post above for more details.
• For the last 20 minutes of baking, glaze the ham one final time, and spoon some of the fat and clove flavoured water over the ham.
• Once ham has finished baking, remove from oven and spoon more of the juices on top and brush with more glaze.
• Loosely cover the ham with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Spoon some more juices on top and brush with a final coat of glaze. Transfer ham to a serving platter with a bed of kale and fresh cranberries. Serve and enjoy!
