Honey Glazed Ham

Submitted by mozarth622

"We were on a vacation with the administrative chef of Quebec's famous Chateau Frontenac and upon returning to the chalet, he made this recipe to which I assisted and helped cutting the vegetables. It tasted very good and to my surprise it had kept its original colour (rosy and tender). I have been making it ever since (that was 15 years ago)."

This is a wonderful Glazed Ham recipe. I didn't know what kind of ham the chef was describing so I used a Butt ham which was precooked. It was twice the size that she used but I used the same amount of vegetables except I doubled the amount of honey since the surface was bigger. I was extremely pleased with the results. The first cooking left the meat flavored mildly by the vegetables and very moist. The baking with the hot glaze around the outside not only kept the moistness inside...but also made a fabulous flavor on the outside. This will now be my favorite way to heat and glaze a precooked ham! Thanks Mozarth622. Made and reviewed for PAC Spring 2009.
