Dinner Recipe: Baked Ham with Sweet Glaze
Servings: 20
allrecipes ~ Step by Step
This recipe was handed down through my family. My grandmother made it, my mother still makes it, and we all love it to pieces! I love the glaze because it’s simple, easy, and delicious. The ham is great as a Boxing Day feast or for any occasion, such as a potluck. Pair it with any side dish, or just pick at it throughout the week. It’s great leftover or chopped into a fresh green salad.
Recipe by: aellis0923
-
Ingredients:
- 1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
- 4 cups hot water, or as needed
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or as needed
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
- 1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
- toothpicks
Preparation Instructions:
Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan, and carefully pour about 1/2 inch of hot water into the pan beneath the ham. Bake ham in the preheated oven for 2 ½ hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat (do not touch the bone) reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C.) Mix together brown sugar, flour, dry mustard, honey, and lemon juice as needed to make a thick, smooth paste. Brush ham generously with glaze. Skewer 1 pineapple chunk and 1 maraschino cherry per toothpick, and insert the decorated picks all over the ham. (Note: Not all skewers will have a cherry on them.) Return ham to the oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Baste ham, fruit and all, with glaze and juices that have collected in the bottom of the pan, return to the oven, and roast for an additional 15 minutes. Let ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices, if desired.
Dessert Recipe: No-Bake Eggnog Pie
Servings: 6-8
The Pioneer Woman ~ Step by Step
With a box of pudding mix and about 20 minutes of prep, you can whip up a creamy holiday pie—no oven required. A store-bought crust streamlines the process even more.
Recipe by: Ree Drummond
-
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cold eggnog
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
- 1 (3.4-oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 oz. cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp. bourbon, spiced rum, or brandy (optional)
- 2 cups cold heavy cream
- 1 (9-in.) graham cracker crust (homemade or store-bought)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggnog, nutmeg, and pudding mix until the mixture starts to thicken to soft-set consistency, about 2 minutes.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and bourbon, if using. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, increase the speed to medium high, and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Scoop 1 cup of the whipped cream mixture into the eggnog pudding, folding gently until combined. Add 1 cup more of the whipped cream mixture and gently fold until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
- Spoon the eggnog pudding mixture into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top. Cover, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight. Transfer the remaining whipped cream mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, top the pie with the reserved whipped cream mixture and a dusting of nutmeg.
