This tangy fruit sauce with almonds is so wonderful over baked ham...and the ruby-red color is gorgeous, too! I usually round out this dinner with sweet potatoes, coleslaw or applesauce and rolls.Joan Laurenzo, Johnstown, Ohio Ingredients:
1/2 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 to 7 pounds) |
1 jar (12 ounces) cherry preserves |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg |
3 tablespoons slivered almonds |
Directions:
1. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 140°.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the preserves, vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in almonds. Serve with ham.
3. Remove leftover ham from bone and cube. Refrigerate or freeze remaining ham (may be frozen for up to 2 months). Yield: 10-12 servings (1-1/2 cups sauce).
