There's nothing I'd rather serve for Easter dinner or another springtime occasion than succulent baked ham. My recipe features a rub that add flavor to a meat plus a delicious cherry sauce with a hint of almond. -Lavonn Bormuth Westerville, Ohio Ingredients:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 to 8 pounds) |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3 tablespoons maple syrup |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 cup cold water |
1 can (16 ounces) pitted dark sweet cherries, undrained |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Place ham in a roasting pan. Score surface of ham with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Combine the brown sugar, syrup and mustard; rub over ham and press into cuts.
2. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140° and ham is heated through.
3. For cherry sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Add cherries. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice and extract. Serve with ham. Yield: 8-10 servings.
