Here’s what “Amish Holiday Hero” refers to—and a tasty way to make it! 🍖✨
It isn’t a sandwich like a traditional hero sub—it’s actually a festive glazed ham that’s a centerpiece dish, often served at holiday meals. (Paperblog)
🍖 Amish Holiday Hero (Glazed Holiday Ham)
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 fully cooked ham (around 8–10 lb / 3.5–4.5 kg)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (or pineapple/orange juice)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh herbs (rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional) (Recipe quick and easy)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the ham: Place the ham, cut‑side down, in a large roasting pan.
- Score top: If not already done, score the surface in a diamond pattern—this helps the glaze penetrate.
- Make the glaze: In a bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar (or juice), cinnamon, cloves, and optional nutmeg.
- Glaze & roast: Brush glaze over the ham, then bake uncovered for about 15–18 minutes per pound (~2–2½ hours), brushing with glaze every 20–30 minutes.
- Finish & rest: Once heated through and caramelized, let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if you like.
- Serve: Slice and serve with the pan juices or extra glaze on the side. (Recipe quick and easy)
🍽️ Tips
- For extra flavor, use pineapple or orange juice in the glaze. (Recipe quick and easy)
- This ham makes a beautiful holiday centerpiece and pairs great with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or dinner rolls.
