40 Best Easter Mains and Entrees

ham, spiral

cup brown sugar

cup honey

tablespoon Dijon mustard

cup apple cider

tablespoon cumin powder

cinnamon

Preheat oven to 275 F. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of a roasting pan and place the rack on top.

Place ham flat side down on top of the rack. Score the ham with a knife to make shallow cuts, about 1/4-inch deep. This helps the ham soak in the sweet glaze. Cover the pan with foil to keep the ham from getting overcooked and dry.

Bake the ham covered for 2 hours until the internal temperature at the thickest part registers at 135F on a meat thermometer.

Bake the Ham:

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, mustard, apple cider, cumin powder and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth, about 1 minute.

Remove the pan from the oven and generously brush half of the glaze over the ham to coat. Return the pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes. Then repeat, applying the remaining glaze and baking for another 15 minutes until the ham caramelizes and turns brown.

Transfer to a serving platter and pour pan drippings on top. Slice and serve with cranberry sauce.

The menus for the Easter holidays are very different in the wide world. I present to you the best Easter ham recipe, which is served to us in Transylvania, for the Easter breakfast.

Best Easter Ham Recipe

smoked ham (boneless)

Put the ham soaked in cold water at least an hour. If it has a strong smoke odour or is too salty, you can leave the ham in the water for up to 10-12 hours.

Place the ham in a larger pot, add 1-2 bay leaves, no more, and a teaspoon of peppercorns. Pour the cold water on top, to cover the ham well, and bring to a boil.

Boil the ham for about an hour and a half ( one hour from each kg ).  Allow the ham to cool in the juice and the pot in which it boiled.

HONEY GLAZED HAM RECIPE

step 1

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the ham on its side in roasting pan. Mix honey, brown sugar and spices in small bowl until well blended. If mixture is too thick, microwave on HIGH 30 seconds to 1 minute or until smooth, stirring after 30 seconds. Brush 1/2 of the honey mixture over ham, gently separating the slices so mixture can reach middle of ham. Cover loosely with foil.

step 2

Bake 1 hour, basting occasionally with pan drippings. Remove foil. Brush with remaining honey mixture. Bake 45 minutes longer. Serve ham with pan drippings.

step 3

Tips on How to Cook a Ham in the Oven:•Fully cooked ready-to-eat ham, whether it's bone-in, boneless or even spiral cut, can be served cold or warmed. •If you're wondering how long to bake a ham, we suggest about 10 to 12 minutes per pound in a 325°F oven. For a fully cooked (ready to eat) ham, heat until internal temperature reaches 145°F. For a fresh ham that must be cooked before serving, heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F. •Place ham in a roasting pan and bake in the lower half of the oven, covered with foil to retain moisture. To keep ham juicy, you can add about 1 cup of water, stock, or even apple juice to the pan.•Before heating, brush ham with your favorite glaze—use only half and save the rest for basting during last 30 to 45 minutes of baking.•Not sure how much ham to buy to feed the family? Go with about 3/4 pound per person for a bone-in ham, or 1/2 pound per person for boneless.

Easy ham cooking method to make a cheap ham more flavorful and juicy. Using beer, brown sugar, pineapple juice and a ham.

My Ham with Creamy Herb Sauce is a delicious change to the normal sticky, sweet sauce for ham. It&#39;ll transform your Easter menu!

Ham with Creamy Herb Sauce

butter

shallot (finely chopped)

all-purpose flour

chicken broth

milk

parsley

lemon

dry mustard

Salt and pepper

Read the heating instructions on the ham steak or spiral ham that you have chosen for the recipe. If you&#39;re using a whole or half ham, they typically require reheating in a 325 F oven to an internal temperature of 165 F. It usually takes 18 to 20 minutes per pound. If you&#39;re browning a ham steak, that usually takes only 10 to 15 minutes.While the ham is being prepared, make the herb sauce.

Prepare the Ham:

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add the minced shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened, taking care not to allow it to brown.

Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.

Reduce the heat a bit and whisk in the broth and milk. Continue to whisk until the sauce starts to bubble. Stir in the parsley (or herb of your choice), lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.

Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes.

Serve the sauce over the warmed ham.

Make the Creamy Herb Sauce:

A bone-in ham is elevated to the next level through a slow smoke on the Traeger and a braise in a mixture of Coca Cola and bourbon. Pulled ham is the perfect dish to serve at Easter!
