One of my favorite holiday meals is honey, brown sugar ham. I go all the way with this ham recipe, and it is one of my families favorites. I make this at least 4 times a year and it is always such a hit that nothing is left over! Although I call it Easter Ham it is of course great is for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other time you are craving this wonderful comfort staple!
Easter Ham
1- 9 pound bone in spiral ham
Glaze
1 1/2 cups maple sugar
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Place ham in roasting pan and pour about 1 cup water in the bottom, cover tightly with tin foil and bake covered for 1 hour and 40 minutes until heated throughout and tender.
3. Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, simmer for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
4. Now this is key, remove ham and take off tin foil, ever-so-easily separate the layers while using a suction to pour the glaze in between the layers. After the glaze is spread thickly into the spiral pieces pour and brush the remainder of the glaze over the ham.
5. Raise temperature to 400. Return the ham to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, remove and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!!!!!!
So one of my favorite meals is fish, any way I can get it, fried, breaded, grilled or baked it's wonderful in any form. And one of the best things about fish is the endless possibility of what you can do with it and if you get tired of one type then move on, there are so many to choose from you can't go wrong! I made this recipe with Sole fish which is a little uncommon from what you usually see at your favorite restaurant, which is great for me because I am always up for new taste, you could also use Halibut or Haddock or your favorite light white fish.
Lightly Breaded and Fried Fish with Dill Sauce
2 large onions thinly sliced
1 stick unsalted butter
6 filet's of Sole fish, or your choice
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 cup a/p flour
1 cup semolina flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 quart buttermilk
vegetable oil for frying
1. Place fish in a large bowl and cover with buttermilk while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. In a large pot melt butter over medium heat, add in 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Add in onions and cover and cook for 40 minutes or until caramelized and the mixture has become thick, if your pan dries out add in a few tablespoons of water. Remove and set aside
3. Combine yogurt, chopped cilantro, and dill in a small bowl, refrigerate until ready to serve
4. Combine both flours, seasoning salt, onion flakes and garlic powder in a large bowl
5. Heat 1/4 inch oil in large skillet
6. Remove fish from buttermilk and dredge in flour mixture, place in pan and cook until browned and tender, about 8 minutes, turning over half way through. Remove from pan and drain on paper plates.
7. Serve topped with the onion mixture and dill sauce.
