TANGERINE-GLAZED EASTER HAM WITH BABY CARROTS



Tangerine-Glazed Easter Ham With Baby Carrots image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 to 10-pound) smoked ham, bone-in, skin on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in chunks
2 tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed
2 cups tangerine juice
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
11/2 pounds carrots, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time to bang-out the tangerine glaze.
  • For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • After the ham has been going for a couple of hours, pour the tangerine glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for 11/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.
  • Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the tangerine glaze. Stick the ham once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.
  • Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and tangerine glaze on the side.

GRILLED HAM AND GOUDA SANDWICH WITH LEFTOVER EASTER VEGGIES



Grilled Ham and Gouda Sandwich with Leftover Easter Veggies image

Whether celebrating a holiday or just another Saturday night, a meal with my chef father-in-law always means leftovers. I love it, don't get me wrong! It's just a matter of coming up with ways to use them all. The beautiful thing about his Easter meal is that everything is so simply prepared. A beautiful roasted ham (locally sourced from a Maryland farm just down the street from their house), lightly dressed green vegetables and a crisp white wine; it's a blissful welcome to spring. Making great use of what was already in-house, I whipped up an amazing dinner that really captured the bright flavors of the previous night's meal. I dressed up a vegetable medley with simple lemon-dill vinaigrette while my favorite sandwich secret weapon - red pepper jelly - worked its magic on a grilled ham and Gouda sandwich.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 thick slices good-quality bread
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons red pepper jelly
10 to 12 slices leftover roast ham (about 1 pound total)
1/2 pound Gouda, thinly sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon fruit preserves, such as apricot or peach
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground black pepper
4 cups roughly chopped (as needed) prepared green vegetables, such as asparagus, zucchini or peas

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet or griddle pan over low heat. Lay out the slices of bread on a work surface and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each one. Flip each slice over and spread a thin layer of red pepper jelly over each one. Build the sandwiches by dividing the ham and Gouda among four of the slices and closing them so that the mayonnaise is on the outside.
  • Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown and heated through.
  • While the sandwiches are toasting, in a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, preserves, dill, olive oil and some salt and pepper. Toss the green vegetables with the dressing and reserve. Cut the sandwiches on a bias and serve warm along with the vegetable salad.

EASTER HAM WITH RED CURRANT GLAZE



Easter Ham with Red Currant Glaze image

This ruby-red glazed ham makes a spectacular focus for any feast. Find a local purveyor whose hams you like, and you'll never use a canned ham again.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 smoked, precooked ham, bone in
2 pints red-currant jelly
1 bottle cabernet sauvignon or other good red wine
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Put ham fat side up on a bed of aluminum foil in a pan just big enough to hold it. Place in oven for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, and peel off the outer layer of fat. Score top with a sharp knife at 3/4-inch intervals in a checkerboard pattern, about half an inch deep. Return ham to oven.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the jelly with the red wine and reduce until mixture is slightly syrupy, about 6 minutes. Baste ham lightly with the glaze every 10 minutes or so for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes; then decorate with a thin line of parsley along every third scored line.

EASTER HAM



Easter Ham image

I made a 10 pounder for Easter Sunday 2004 on the boat. I served it as sandwiches with beans, and potato salad. The problem I incurred was that when I went to place it in the oven, it was too big! I had to cut a 1/2" slice off of the bottom before it would go in. If you use one of the "spiral sliced" hams, follow the directions for cooking that comes with it. However I will still turn the heat up to 425 for the last 1/2 hour and baste it with a mixture of frozen orange juice concentrate and ground cloves. You should also be aware that I have never had a "spiral sliced" ham that wasn't dry. and I've been known to go to great extremes to find one that wasn't spiral sliced. Something about the fact that the cuts go so deep into the ham gets it to dry out For additional pictures, please visit: http://www.capnrons.com/R_M_Easter_Ham.html?id=RZ

Categories     Ham

Time 2h30m

Yield 1 Ham, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 lbs ham, semi-boneless, shank
1 (8 ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, small can
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
whole cloves, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Cut slices in the top of the ham on a diagonal, and press one whole clove into each square.
  • Mix up the orange juice and dark brown sugar.
  • Bake in oven for 20 minutes per pound at 325°F.
  • Baste every 1/2 hour or so, making sure you work fast to get the ham back into the oven quickly. You'll probably notice that the top may start to burn (caramelize), cover with a strip of tin foil. As the cooking process continues, you'll have to lightly cover the whole ham with a larger piece of aluminum foil.

Whole cloves
1 pound dark-brown sugar
1 twelve-ounce can Coca-Cola
1 fourteen-ounce can pineapple rings, drained and juice reserved
1 cup sweet Concord grape wine, like Manischevitz
10 to 12 maraschino cherries
Fresh bay leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place ham, fat side up, in a double-layer disposable aluminum roasting pan. Pat brown sugar onto the surface of the ham (expect some sugar to fall into the roasting pan). Transfer to oven, and bake until brown sugar just begins to melt, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine 1 cup reserved pineapple juice and the wine in a small bowl. Baste ham with pineapple mixture. Bake ham for a total of 16 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices in the bottom of the pan. During the last 20 minutes of baking time, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use two to three toothpicks to hold each ring in place. Center a cherry in the center of each ring, and adhere with a toothpick.
  • Transfer ham to a platter, removing all toothpicks. Garnish ham with fresh bay leaves. Serve.

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 10 3/4 pound spiral hillshire ham
1 c good quality ginger ale
1 c stone ground mustard
1 c light brown sugar firmly packed
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. But follow the directions for the ham that you have purchased.
  • 2. I had to remove the wrapping and the disk covering the bone, and then wrap the ham tightly in aluminum foil. Then place in a large pan with a 2 inch side. No water was needed. Place ham in middle rack and bake for 13 -15 minutes per pound. My ham needed 2 1/2 hours baking time.
  • 3. GLAZE RECIPE: Add the ginger ale, ground mustard, brown sugar & cloves to a medium sauce pan, then stir to blend. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil, whisking as you go. Do not leave sauce pan unattended or it can quickly boil over. Continue to stir as glaze will thicken in just a few minutes about 5 to 10 minutes. When glaze becomes syrupy remove from heat and add butter, then stir till butter melts. Then brush glaze over ham on all sides.
  • 4. I baked the ham for 2 hours, then made the glaze while the ham was baking, removed the ham after the 2 hours has elapsed, then glazed the ham on all sides, then returned it to the oven. Then repeated this step 2 additional times for a total of 30 minutes. There was juice that accumulated in the bottom of the pan from the ham.
  • 5. I lined a platter with fresh greens, and added some decorative fruit that I had cut, and placed a cherry in the middle of each piece of citrus fruit , added a few green & red Grapes that I drizzled with Agave nectar and dusted with powdered sugar.
  • 6. Added the ham & carefully separated the slices & arranged them on the tray in an attractive manner.

I saw this prepared on GMA this past Friday, and then made it for Easter. It got rave reviews from my guests!

Provided by Cook4_6

Categories     Ham

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bone-in hickory smoked spiral sliced ham, cooked (8 to 10 pounds)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set a wire baking rack on top.
  • Using kitchen twine, tie the ham at 2 to 3-inch intervals both horizontally and vertically. This will hold the slices together as well as help the ham remain moist while baking. Position the ham (bottom side up) on the rack.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Pour 1/4 cup glaze evenly over the ham, then turn the ham so that the uncoated side is up. Pour 1/2 cup glaze evenly over the top.
  • Bake the ham for 30 minutes. Remove ham from the oven and brush with remaining glaze. Bake 30 minutes longer. Baste the ham a final time with the juices that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan and cook 10 minutes longer, or until the ham is heated through and the edges are nicely browned.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the kitchen twine and transfer the ham to a serving platter. Carefully pour any accumulated glaze/cooking juices from the baking sheet into a small gravy boat or container. Brush the ham a final time with the glaze. Serve ham hot or at room temperature. Leftover ham is delicious in sandwiches.
  • Note: If ham begins to brown excessively before it is heated through, tent loosely with aluminum foil and continue cooking.

ITALIAN EASTER PIE / PIZZA RUSTICA (AKA "HAM PIE") RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Italian Easter Pie / Pizza Rustica (Aka

Provided by janriff924

Number Of Ingredients 19

PIE CRUST:
1 pastry for double-crust pie, 10 inch (or you can make the "yeast dough pie crust ")
3 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tablespoons leaf lard or 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope yeast
1 cup water
PIE FILLING:
2 pounds sweet Italian sausage links
1/4 pound prosciutto, chopped
1/2 pound cooked ham, diced
2 pounds ricotta cheese
12 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
5 eggs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley (flat leaf)
1/4 cup freshly grated romano cheese or 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the yeast dough crust: In a cup, mix yeast and warm water together. Place flour on a pastry board, add leaf lard (or butter), salt, pepper and yeast/water mixture. Work together well until dough forms, continue working the dough until it is elastic and smooth. Place dough in a deep dish, cover and allow it to rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in volume. When dough has risen, cut into 2 pieces. Stretch one piece to fit into a greased 9 x 2 1/2-inch round cake pan. Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare filling as described below. After filling the dough lined pan, stretch second piece of dough and place over the filling, pressing the edges closed. If there is a lot of excess dough left on the edge, carefully trim some, but leave enough to flute the sealed edge. (I like to brush the crust with a bit of beaten egg before baking, to give it a gloss.) If you use a regular pie crust dough: Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare pastry and line a 10 inch pie pan. Prick dough with a fork, and sprinkle with a bit of flour. Prepare filling as described below. Pour mixture into pastry lined pie tin and cover with top crust. Leave about a 1/2 to 3/4-inch overhang. Fold dough under and back, and flute edge. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Making the Filling: Cut sausage into small pieces (or remove from casings and crumble), place in frying pan and brown lightly in 2 tablespoons of water. In a large bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, salt and pepper; add eggs one at a time, beating with a wooden spoon after each addition. Add cooked sausage, prosciutto, ham, parsley and grated cheese to ricotta mixture. Blend well. Fill dough lined pan with mixture. For Regular Pie Crust: Bake the pie for 15 minutes in preheated (400°) oven, lower oven temperature to 325°F and continue baking for 45-50 minutes more. For Yeast Dough Crust: Bake the pie in a preheated 375°F oven for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven and let pie "settle" for about 10 minutes before slicing if you are going to serve it warm; otherwise let pie cool and refrigerate when cooled. Pie can be served either warm or cold. Slices can be reheated in the microwave. **Please note the different pan sizes, pan preparations, baking temperatures and baking times depending on which type of crust you choose to use. The "Prep Time" does not include the 2 hour rising time for the yeast dough crust.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped celery
3 tablespoons butter
2-3/4 cups cubed French bread (1/4-inch cubes)
1 cup chopped tart apple
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons raisins
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 fully cooked ham (3 pounds), cut into 3/8-inch slices
1/2 cup pineapple preserves, melted

Steps:

  • In a skillet, saute onion and celery in butter until tender; add the next six ingredients and mix well. Line an 11x7-in. baking pan with foil; place string for tying on foil. Place one ham slice on top of string; spread with 1 cup of stuffing. Top with another ham slice. Repeat the process, using two ham slices between stuffing layers. Tie securely with string. Cover loosely with foil., Bake at 350° for 1-1/4 hours. Baste ham with preserves; bake, uncovered, basting several times, for 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the stuffing in the center of ham reads 140°. Let stand 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham, but it will also take longer to cook. If you're short on time, a boneless ham is a good option.
  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the only way to ensure that your ham is cooked to the proper internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Baste the ham frequently: This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful. You can use a variety of liquids for basting, such as pineapple juice, orange juice, or maple syrup.
  • Let the ham rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
