Red Currant Ham Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap ham with parchment-lined foil. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, bring jelly and rosemary to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until thick and syrupy, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt.
• Transfer ham to a cutting board, and unwrap. Score fat in a diamond pattern with lines less than 1/2 inch apart using a sharp knife. Return ham to baking sheet. Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees. Brush ham with currant glaze. Bake for 30 minutes. Brush again with glaze, and bake for 10 minutes more. Remove from oven, and brush again with glaze. Rewarm remaining glaze over low heat until pourable and saucelike. Slice ham, and serve with sauce.

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.

Steps:

• Heat the jelly and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth.
• Remove from heat.
• Let cool until it is only slightly warm and then glaze the fruit or tart crust, using a pastry brush.

Steps:

• In bowl, combine first 5 ingredients.
• Add next 2 ingredients and mix with hands.
• Shape into 1" balls.
• Bake in 13x9 pan and bake at 350º for 18-20 minutes.
• In small saucepan, melt jelly and mustard.
• Place meatballs into dish, pour sauce over, stir lightly to coat.
• Toothpick if desired for appetizers.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• If the ham comes with the skin still attached, remove most of it with a sharp knife, leaving a collar of skin around the shank bone and a layer of fat. Trim the fat, leaving a layer about 1/3 inch thick, score the layer remaining into diamonds, and stud the center of each diamond with a clove. Bake the ham on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 350°F. oven for 55 minutes.
• In a small saucepan heat the jelly over moderate heat, stirring, until it is melted and smooth, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the mustard. Spoon the glaze over the ham, spreading it evenly, and bake the ham for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the glaze is brown and bubbly. Transfer the ham to a platter and let it stand for 15 minutes before carving. If planning to make the ham, spinach, and pasta gratin (page 117), reserve 1 pound of the carved ham, covered and chilled.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring ham and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until ham is heated through, turning once. Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine jelly and horseradish. Cover and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Serve over ham.
