As Easter approaches, there’s nothing quite as quintessential as the aroma of a succulent, honey-glazed ham wafting through the air. This year, elevate your Easter feast with a tantalizing Honey-Glazed Easter Ham, infused with the zesty tang of lemon and lime soda, the sweetness of honey, and the warm spices of mustard, cloves, and cinnamon. Cooked to perfection in a crock pot, this slow-cooked marvel promises to be the crowning jewel of your holiday table.
To embark on this culinary journey, begin by selecting a premium cut of ham. Ideally a buy a bone-in ham for maximum flavor and succulence. Prepare the glaze by combining the bright zest of lemon and lime soda with the rich sweetness of honey, creating a harmonious marriage of flavors that will envelop the ham in a luscious, sticky coating.
Enhance the depth of flavor by incorporating mustard, a classic condiment that adds a subtle kick and complexity to the glaze. Infuse the mixture with the warming notes of cloves and cinnamon, imparting a comforting aroma that evokes memories of cherished family gatherings and festive occasions.
Once the glaze is prepared, generously coat the ham, ensuring that every inch is enveloped in the tantalizing mixture. Transfer the glazed ham to the crock pot, where it will undergo a slow and gentle cooking process. This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and juicy.
As the ham simmers away in the crock pot, the tantalizing aroma will permeate your kitchen. All the while teasing your taste buds and building anticipation for the feast to come. Resist the urge to peek too often – patience is key as the ham slowly transforms into a culinary masterpiece.
When the time is right, carefully remove the ham from the crock pot, taking care to preserve its succulence. Allow it to rest for a few moments before carving, then prepare to be transported to gastronomic bliss. Each bite will be both tender and flavourful.
Serve your Honey-Glazed Easter Ham as part of a main dish alongside an array of seasonal side dishes. Dishes such as mashed potatoes to vibrant spring salads – for a meal that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious. As loved ones gather around the table to indulge in this Easter tradition, let the warm spirit of the season fill your hearts and homes with joy and gratitude.
It wouldn’t be Easter without a Honey Glazed Easter Ham. The soft moist ham baked long and slow and drenched in a glaze that is hard to beat. The cloves and cinnamon are good but add honey and mustard and WOW.
