Bringing Holiday Cheer with Emeril's Christmas Ham
The Secret to a Perfect Christmas Ham
To start, Emeril recommends using a bone-in smoked ham for maximum flavor and tenderness. This type of ham has been cured and smoked, giving it a rich and smoky taste that pairs perfectly with the holiday season. Make sure to remove the ham from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Creating a Flavorful Glaze
The key to a truly delicious Christmas ham is the glaze. Emeril's glaze recipe calls for a mixture of honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. This combination of sweet and tangy flavors will add depth and complexity to the ham. Brush the glaze over the ham before baking and save some to baste the ham throughout the cooking process.
Basting for Moisture and Flavor
To achieve a perfectly moist and flavorful ham, basting is crucial. Emeril recommends basting the ham every 20 minutes with the reserved glaze. This will help keep the ham moist and also add layers of flavor as the glaze caramelizes on the outside of the ham.
The Finishing Touch
Once the ham is fully cooked, Emeril suggests letting it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a juicy and tender final product. Serve the ham with any remaining glaze on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
Ready to Impress with Emeril's Christmas Ham?
With Emeril's expert tips and delicious recipe, you'll have a Christmas ham that will have everyone asking for seconds. So fire up the oven and get ready to impress your guests with this mouth-watering holiday ham. Happy cooking and happy holidays!
