CHERRY ALMOND HAM GLAZE



Cherry Almond Ham Glaze image

I came across this recipe looking for an alternative to traditional sauces for holiday meats. Mostly, I serve it with holiday ham, and it goes over well-probably because it is such a change of taste. But the glaze should be fine with almost any meat...and its cheesy color would add a festive touch to the table! Our life's busy. In addition to being a farm records analyst, my husband's a minister. I work out of our home-our girls are 4 and 1-as a hairstylist and Edd's secretary, and teach a morning each week at a Christian preschool.

CHRISTMAS CHERRY HAM GLAZE



Christmas Cherry Ham Glaze image

This may also be served on the side as a sauce and doubles well, for the best flavor I recommend to use a good quality cherry preserve such as Smuckers

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) jar cherry preserves
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (no substitutes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt (can use a little more to taste)

  • Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring for 5 minutes.
  • The last 30 minutes of cooking the ham remove from oven and baste with the sauce.
  • Continue to cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Ham: For best results, choose a fully cooked bone-in ham. This will ensure that the ham is evenly cooked and flavorful.
  • Preparing the Glaze: To achieve a smooth and glossy glaze, whisk the ingredients until they are well combined. If the glaze is too thick, add a little bit of water or cherry juice to thin it out.
  • Applying the Glaze: Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the ham with the glaze. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies so that the ham is evenly glazed.
  • Baking the Ham: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before putting the ham in. This will help ensure that the ham cooks evenly. During baking, baste the ham with the glaze every 15-20 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
