Ham (Christmas Ham)


need to wait for Christmas and enjoy this tasty ham original painted in the American ... Here, we find that the traditional ham hardly used in the U.S. - the leg of pork boned and usually cured with its rind, too, I prepared the recipe with regular ham, the sweet and sour sauce very well observed. The result is cooked, tender and flavorful.

Serves 6
  • 1 mini ham (about 1 kg)
  • cloves 1 cup
  • * fresh orange juice
  • 1 / 2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 / 4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 / 2 cup balsamic vinegar
* 1 cup (1 cup) = one volume about 240 ml


Preparation

Pour orange juice and balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Add sugar and mustard. Whisk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 200 ยบ C. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and food reserve.

impeccably dry ham using paper towels. Draw fine too deep cross on top of ham with the tip of a sharp knife. Prick a few cloves in a harmonious way in the diamonds.

Transfer the ham in the dish. Brush top and sides with the sauce. Bake for 1:20 to 1:30, basting the ham with sauce every 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the remaining sauce to a boil and reduce until slightly syrupy consistency.

Thinly slice the ham and serve immediately with the sauce on the side and a green salad of the season.
