1215.0. "HAM: RAISIN SAUCE" by DANUBE::R_WOODS () Thu Jun 16 1988 10:28

    
                            -<Raisin Sauce>-
    
    I went to a Church dinner the other night and they served Ham with
    a delicious raisin sauce poured over the top.  I wasn't able to
    get the recipe for it.  Does anybody have a recipe for this???
    The only other ingredient that I know it contains is brown sugar.
    
    Thanks,

1215.1Raisin SauceMBEZZL::PHILPOTThu Jun 16 1988 17:1322
    Mix:
       1/2 cup brown sugar
       1 tsp dry mustard
       2 tbsp cornstarch
    
    Slowly add:
       2 tbsp vinegar
       2 tbsp lemon juice
       1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
       1 1/2 cups water
       1/2 cup seedless raisins
    
    Stir over low heat until thick.
    
    I've made this plenty of times, but can't tell you how it tastes
    because I like my ham plain.  But I do know that my husband won't
    eat ham without it.  (I had to get the recipe from his mother when
    we got married!)

    My wife makes a raisin sause but Im not into it because its too
    sweet for me....dont know the proportions because she never measures
    but first you have to soak the raisins overnight, or simmer them
    in water for 30 minutes to get them nice and soft/puffy.
    
    Then in a seperate bowl mix brown sugar, cup or so depending on
    how much your making, with orange juice....add some corn
    starch, simmer, put raisins back in and simmer until desired
    thickness....

1215.3BAKED HAM with SIMPLE GLAZEGIGI::BOHENTue Jul 05 1988 17:1427
    For a simple but good glaze on a baked ham:
  
    (sorry no exact measurements...but none are necessary -- really!)
      
    Can of sliced pineapple
    brown sugar
    whole cloves (can substitute ground cloves)                      
    
    Score the ham with a knife in a criss-cross fashion (just piercing
    the top about 1/8 inch deep... should look like big "X"s)
    
    Drain pineapple slices SAVING the JUICE.  
    
    Place whole cloves into ham where the criss-crosses cross -- press
    into ham.
    
    Place pineapple slices on ham & secure with toothpicks (wooden)
    
    Mix leftover pineapple juice with a few tablespoons (I use 3 to
    5) of brown sugar (depends on amount of juice and your taste). 
    Pour over ham.  Bake in oven
    
    Baste often.
    
    
    
    
1215.4Marmalade and rum glaze for hamSKITZD::WILDETime and Tide wait for NormanTue Jul 05 1988 17:3613
Ham glaze with more complex favor:

1 jar GOOD English Marmalade heated in saucepan with 3 heaping tablespoons
mustard (dijon is good if you like a bit of a bite)...when warm and blended,
stir in a good shot of Meyers Rum (special flavor - I use this specific brand).

If this is too thin, you can add 1 heaping teaspoon cornstarch mixed to
a thin paste with water - then stir into the glaze mix while heating
until the glaze turns from white to clear again.

Spread liberally on ham the last 35 minutes of cooking....

		Bon Apetit!
