Best 9 Honey Roasted Ham Or Turkey With Dried Cherry Relish Recipes

HONEY-GLAZED HAM WITH CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• 1. Remove and discard glaze packet from ham or reserve for another use. Begin by preparing ham according to package directions.
• 2. Make Honey Glaze: While baking, mix honey, mustard and lemon juice in small bowl until blended. Set aside until the last 30 minutes of baking time.
• 3. Make Cranberry Relish: Combine apples and juice in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cranberries; simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until fruit is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in marmalade and pecans. Set aside until ready to eat. Or, if made in advance, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• 4. Uncover ham and brush with the Honey Glaze for the last 30 minutes of the baking time.
• 5. Let stand 10 minutes. Carve and serve with Cranberry Relish.

TOASTED SPICED HAM DRIZZLED IN HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place ham on an open brown paper bag for easy clean up. With the tip of a paring knife carefully score a 1-inch grid pattern around the outside of the ham. Brush the entire surface of the meat on all sides with some of the honey.
• Season the entire surface of the meat on all sides with the toasted spice rub and thyme. Add about a half cup of water to the base of the roaster. Place ham on several celery sticks in the roasting pan.
• Cook for 1 hour. Every 15 minutes, baste ham with juices that collect in the base of the roaster and the honey. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving as desired.
• Toast the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a small, heavy pan over medium heat. (Toasting freshens spices, releases their oils, and makes them more fragrant, as well as adding a new dimension of flavor.) When the fennel turns light brown, work quickly. Turn on the exhaust fan; add the red pepper flakes, and toss, toss, toss, always under the fan. Immediately turn the spice mixture out onto a plate to cool. Put in a blender with the sweet chili powder, salt, and cinnamon and blend until the spices are evenly ground.
• If you have a small spice mill blender or a coffee grinder dedicated to grinding spices, grind only the fennel, coriander, pepper, and chili flakes. Pour into a bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients. Keep the spice mix in a glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.
• *Chef's Tip: Taste your chili powder and, if spicy and hot, cut back the amount. California chiles are almost sweet, not hot.
• Yield: 1 cup

BAKED HAM WITH CHERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Mix brown sugar, syrup and mustard; rub over ham and press into cuts. Bake, covered, until a thermometer reads 140°, 1-3/4 to 2 hours., In a small saucepan, mix cornstarch, sugar and water until smooth. Add cherries; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and almond extract. Serve warm with ham.

HONEY-GLAZED TURKEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, breast side up. Tuck wings under turkey; tie drumsticks together. Bake for 2 hours., In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients; brush over turkey. Bake 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°. Baste occasionally with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.), For stuffing, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until tender. Add stuffing cubes and seasonings; toss to combine. Stir in enough boiling water to reach desired moistness; transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, covered, for 1 hour. Uncover and bake until lightly browned, 10-15 minutes longer., Remove turkey from oven; cover loosely with foil and let stand 15 minutes before carving. If desired, skim fat and thicken pan drippings for gravy. Serve with turkey and stuffing.

HONEY-ROASTED HAM OR TURKEY WITH DRIED CHERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Stir crème de cassis, 1/2 cup water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil. Add dried cherries. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until cherries are plump, about 5 minutes. Mix in pecans and orange peel. Season relish lightly with salt. Transfer to bowl. Cool. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Place ham or turkey on platter. Place bowl with cherry relish alongside. Serve with dinner rolls, if desired.

HONEY ROASTED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Place the turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan.
• In a medium sauce pan, combine remaining ingredients and gently simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavor from the sprig on rosemary (I used one that was about 5 inches long) to infuse into the sauce. Remove and keep the sprig of rosemary.
• If you have an injector, inject about 1/2 of the wine/butter/honey mixture into the breast in several locations. Drizzle another 1/4 of the mixture on top of the breast. Season with pepper. I do not use salt because it can draw out some of the moisture of the turkey and it really doesn't need it.
• If you don't have an injector, just pour about 1/2 of the mixture on the breast and then season with pepper.
• Place the sprig of rosemary across the top of the breast.
• Place in an oven preheated to 325 f until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 160. This took our oven about 2 hours but keep a close eye on it so you don't dry it into turkey jerkey instead of turkey breast. At about 45 minutes, baste it with some of the remaining butter/wine/honey mixture. At 1hour and 15 minutes start basting it every 30 minutes with the juices from the pan.
• Remove at 160 degrees, discard the rosemary, and wrap the breast in foil for at least 15 minutes but will stay warm for much longer.

HONEY GLAZED HAM WITH DRIED CRANBERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Prepare and heat ham according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, prepare glaze. Mix honey with dry mustard and lemon juice in bowl; set aside.
• For the relish, combine crushed pineapple with orange juice in saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat; cook to reduce juices 5 minutes. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Add water; return mixture to boil. Stir in orange and lemon zest, and cranberries. Cover pan; simmer over low heat 5 minutes to plump cranberries. Remove pan from heat and stir in pecans. Set relish aside to cool. (Relish may be prepared up to one week before serving. Store in refrigerator in tightly covered container.)
• Brush glaze on your Cook's ham 30 minutes before meat is done. Heat ham uncovered for final 30 minutes. Carve ham and serve with cranberry relish.

DRIED CHERRY RELISH

Steps:

• Place the cherries in a saucepan with the water, bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat. Set aside for one hour.
• Drain the cherries, reserving the liquid. Chop them fine and mix them with the onion and red pepper.
• Mix the vinegar and sugar with the reserved soaking liquid. Mix with the cherries, onion and red pepper and season with black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

HONEY AND CHERRY GLAZED HAM STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat charcoal or gas grill.
• In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except Ham. Simmer for five minutes.
• Place Ham Steaks (I use bone in, thick ham steaks) on grill over medium heat. Grill 3 minutes. Turn Ham Steak; brush with half of Cherry mixture and continue to grill 3 minutes. Turn again; brush with remaining half of Cherry mixture and continue to grill 1 to 2 minutes or until Ham is glazed and heated through. Serve with any remaining Cherry Sauce.
