Grandma’s Traditional Holiday Glazed Maple And Brown Sugar Ham

Grandma’s Traditional Holiday Glazed Maple And Brown Sugar Ham

 I always put my vote in for a giant pot of ham and white beans.” Jodie

Ingredients:

1 spiral sliced ham

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup pear nectar you can find this in the alcohol mix section if its not in the juice section 
of the store

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup maple syrup molasses is good too

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375.

Place ham cut side down in deep baking pan.

Mix pear nectar and OJ together and pour over ham.

Roast for 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with juice.

Meanwhile mix together syrup and sugar.

Pour on top of ham then spread evenly over it.

Bake until sugar caramelizes and starts to form a crust, about an hour.

Let rest, enjoy!

Note:

Over the years we have moved away from spiral sliced hams for this recipe and have been 
using the shank end unsliced hams that are usually about half the price of spiral sliced. 
When we do that, we crosshatch the ham before we bake it. That means we score the 
outside of the ham with a knife in a diamond pattern. The cuts are usually only about a 1/4 
-1/2 inch deep. This helps some of the fat render off the ham and allows the glaze and juice 
to get down to the meat of the ham.

“The sweetened condensed milk is what really makes it amazing!” Laura

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar

6 cups cold water  

4 limes (pick ones with thin, smooth skins; they're the juiciest)

6 Tbsp. sweetened condensed milk

Instructions:

In a pitcher, combine the cold water and sugar very well and chill until ready to use.

You can even do this ahead of time.

Wash limes thoroughly with water and a little liquid dish soap.

Cut the ends off of each lime and cut each lime into 8ths.

Place ½ of the limes in a blender.

Add ½ of the sugar water, to the blender.

Cover and pulse 5 times.

Place a fine-mesh strainer over another pitcher and pour the blended mixture through the 
strainer and into the pitcher.

Use a spoon to press the mixture to get all of the liquid into the pitcher.

Dispose of what is left in the strainer.

Repeat with remaining limes and sugar water.

Add sweetened condensed milk to the mixture and stir to combine.

Taste the drink and add more sugar if needed.

Mussels With Roquefort Sauce

“Many people are afraid to attempt to cook mussels, they think it's difficult to cook, but it's 
not the case. In fact, the hardest part is the washing. Place them in cold water (they should 
close, if they don't you should throw them away). Scrub any dirt off the surface of the 
mussels and remove the beard. Then it will take minutes to cook!” Cherine

Ingredients (serves 4):

1.5 kilos mussels

2 onions, finely sliced

1 cup dry white wine

2 cups crème fraîche

4 ½ oz (125 g) Roquefort, chunked

2 tbsp salted butter

2 tbsp chopped parsley

salt and pepper

Directions:

Wash mussels in cold water, pulling away beards and scraping off barnacles if there are 
any.

Rinse again and swish around in lots of cold water.

Discard any mussels that remain open.

Sauté the onion in 1 tbsp of melted butter in a large pot.

Add the cream and the Roquefort, then mix.

Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Leave it simmering on medium heat.

Meanwhile, bring the white wine to a boil in a large pot add the mussels and cover.

Wait until all mussels are open, around 5 mn.

Here you have 2 choices, either you scoop the mussels with a slotted spoon and pour over 
the cream sauce; or you filter the cooking liquid and add it to the cream sauce.

Stir over medium heat around 5 min.

Strawberry Cream Cake

Strawberry Cream Cake
Recipe from: chichoskitchen
Image credit: Cherine
Strawberry Cream Cake

“A bountiful of luscious strawberries - an indication of Spring's arrival!!!” Cherine

Ingredients (serves 8 to 10):

For the Cake:

1 ¼ Cups (175g) All-Purpose Flour

2 ½ tsp (10g) Baking Powder

1/8 tsp Sea Salt

5 Large Eggs, separated

1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar

5 Tbsp Boiling Water

1 ½ tsp Vanilla Extract

Grated zest of 2 Lemons

For the Strawberry Cream Filling:

2 Cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced, plus more for garnish

1 tsp Fresh Lemon Juice

4 to 6 Tbsp Granulated Sugar

2 Cups Crème Fraiche

2/3 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Confectioners’ Sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch spring form pan with parchment 
paper.

To make the cake, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip together the egg yolks 
and sugar on high speed until thick; the mixture will be grainy.

Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the boiling water.

Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Increase the speed to 
high and whip again until thick.

Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Reduce the speed to low and stir in the flour mixture.

In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites on medium-low speed until frothy. Increase the 
speed to medium-high and whip until thick and smooth; the mixture should not look dry.

Fold half of the whites into the batter, and then fold in the remaining whites.

Gently spread the batter in the prepared pan.

Bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 
minutes.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Run a knife around the inside edge of the pan and remove the ring.

Invert the cake and remove the base of the pan.

Carefully peel off the parchment.

Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Using a serrated knife, cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers.

To make the filling, place the 2 cups strawberries in a bowl.

Stir in the lemon juice and 2 Tbsp of the granulated sugar.

Taste for sweetness; depending on the berries’ ripeness, you many need to add additional 1 to 2 Tbsp more sugar.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the crème fraiche, 
cream, vanilla and the remaining 2 Tbsp granulated sugar.

Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form and the cream hold its shape.

Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate.

Arrange 1/3 of the strawberries and their juices over the cake.

Spread 1/3 of the cream over the berries.

Repeat the layering process with the remaining 2 cake layers, berries and cream, ending 
with a layer cream.

Before serving, dust the top of the cake with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with additional berries.

Cut the cake with a serrated knife.
