1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup white wine |
1 cup cherry preserves |
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (creamy) |
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grd cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon grd cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 lemon, zested and juiced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a roasting pan with foil for easy clean-up.
2. Score top & sides of ham in a crisscross pattern. Put ham in pan, pour 1/2 c water or white wine into bottom of pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45-60 minutes.
3. To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardimom, salt and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest.
