|---|
| 3 lb. fully-cooked boneless smoked ham |
| 4 Tbsp. honey, divided |
| 1 Tbsp. stone-ground mustard |
| 1/3 c. + 1 tsp. cider vinegar, divided |
| 5 medium onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 5 c.) |
| 3 Tbsp. butter |
| 1/2 c. dried tart cherries |
| 1/2 tsp. cardamom |
| 1/4 c. almonds, sliced or slivered, and toasted |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 325°F. Place ham on rack in shallow baking pan. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a meat
thermometer registers 140°F. (about 15 to 18 minutes per pound).
2. Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small bowl combine 2 Tbsp. honey, 1 tsp. cider vinegar and 1 Tbsp. mustard. Brush ham with glaze during the last 5 minutes of baking.
3. To caramelize onions, cook onions in a covered Dutch oven in hot butter over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until onions are just tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/2 c. dried cherries, 1/3 c. cider vinegar, 2 Tbsp. honey and 1/2 tsp. cardamom. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in toasted almonds. Slice ham; serve with onion mixture.
