Glazed Ham with Dried Cherry
Caramelized Onions
3 pound cooked boneless ham
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
5 medium onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 cup almonds, sliced or slivered and toasted
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Place ham on rack in shallow baking pan. Roast 45
minutes to 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F. (about 15
to 18 minutes per pound).
Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon
cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon mustard. Brush ham with glaze during the last 5
minutes of baking.
To caramelize onions, cook onions in a covered Dutch oven in hot butter over
medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until onions are just tender, stirring
occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/3 cup cider vinegar, 2
tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
Stir in toasted almonds. Slice ham; serve with onion mixture.
Serves 10.
