Help With Ham

[Callie]

I posted this question on the Roll Call thread this morning, but thought I would post it as a topic, too.

Does anyone have a baked ham recipe without brown sugar, pineapple or other sugary products?

Thank you!

Hi Callie, and happy bday!

Well I have been thinking on a possible option for a sweet ham, here in Mexico we dont eat much that dish but being a passionate of cooking, I might try to experiment some posibilities.

First of all I think you could try to make your own "glaze", maybe a combination of lemon juice with some splenda or stevia, add some salt, pepper and garlic, maybe a little of ginger and rosemary for a sweet and sour taste and browned butter for the color, although it would be more like a marinade than a glaze I think that the flavor would be quite good. you can decorate it with little pieces of tomato instead of the cherries hehehe and fresh rosemary on the top.

I think I will give it a try when I find a healthy ham, here they are mostly cured with nitrates, still havent find one that doesnt have this ingredient.

Bon Appetit!

Try this George Stellas Baked Ham recipe

Thats the only recipe that I can find. But I like to just bake my ham without anything.

Re: Help With Ham

I think I've been given some good advise, lol. I forgot to add that we DON'T like cloves in ham at all. I think I'll keep it simple. I might rub a little mustard on it and bake it. Sounds good to me. Thank you everyone for your help.
