Baked Ham with Maple Caramelized Onions & Mustard Sauce
Traditional ham gets an update with a sweet and savoury glaze and sauce.
Ingredients:
9 to 10 lb bone-in smoked ham (4.5 to 5 kg)
2 tbsp 35% whipping cream (30 mL)
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (30 mL)
2 tsp Dijon mustard (10 mL)
Sauce:
2 tbsp butter (30 mL)
4 onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (30 mL)
1-3/4 cups 35% Real Whipping Cream (425 mL)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (15 mL)
Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325*F (160*C). Place ham in large roasting pan.
2. In a bowl, combine cream, syrup and mustard. Brush a thin layer over ham; refrigerate remaining glaze. Bake ham for about 3 hours, brushing every 30 minutes with more of the glaze, until ham reaches an internal temperature of 140*F (60*C).
3. Sauce: About 20 minutes before ham is ready, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and syrup; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook onions, stirring often, for 20 to 25 minutes or until very soft and caramelized. Stir in cream, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil gently for about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
4. Meanwhile, transfer ham to a cutting board and tent with foil for 10 minutes. Slice ham and serve sauce spooned over top. Yield: 8 servings (plus leftover ham)
