Honey Baked Ham

Ingredients

• 1 8-10 pound fully cooked ham bone-in, spiral sliced - SGC# 214096
• 1 cup honey - SGC# 122036
• 1/2 cup brown sugar - SGC# 051964
• 5 tablespoons butter - SGC# 054130
• 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard - SGC# 125985
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon - SGC# 171521
• 1 teaspoon Restaurant Marketplace nutmeg - SGC# 191595
• 1 teaspoon Restaurant Marketplace ground cloves - SGC# 170142
• 1 teaspoon paprika - SGC# 170811

 

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place ham in a roasting pan lined with foil or roasting pan liner (see tips above). Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, butter, brown mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and paprika. Heat over medium-low heat until sugar is just dissolved (you do not need to bring it to a boil). 
• Baste ham with about ⅓ of the honey mixture. Be sure to get in between all the slices.
• Cover and bake at 200-degrees for 5 hours, basting a second time halfway through using half of the remaining honey mixture. Check the temperature often. When the ham reaches 140-degrees F, it is ready.
• Remove ham from oven and set oven to “broil”. While oven is getting to temperature, baste ham one last time using remaining mixture. Be sure to get a nice even coating over the top.
• Place ham, uncovered, back in the oven. Watch it closely! When the glaze starts to caramelize and bubble up, remove ham from oven. Allow ham to rest for 5 minutes and serve!

 

Oven Roast Beef

Ingredients

 

• 3 pounds rump roast - SGC# 200799
• kosher salt to taste - SGC# 052100
• 2 tablespoons butter - SGC# 054130
• 1 (2-ounce) package dry onion soup mix - SGC# 100925
• 1 cup beef broth (or beef stock) - SGC# 090472

 

Instructions

 

• Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room-temperature (about 30-40 minutes). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Trim excess fat from roast and generously rub all sides with Kosher salt.
• In a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add roast to pan and sear on all sides for about one minute per side. You want the roast to be brown all over.
• Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and pour beef broth over the top and around the inside of the roasting pan.
• Cover and roast in the oven for 3 hours or until beef is fall-apart tender (add 40-60 minutes per pound over 3 pounds).
• Allow roast beef to rest 10-15 minutes, still covered or wrapped in foil, before carving. While the roast rests, make gravy (optional, see notes above). Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve!
