OKLAHOMA CITY- Holiday meals and special occasions often call for roast beef of ham. Here are sauces which are perfect compliments to each. (And I’ve added a tip that makes the Holiday Ham a breeze!)
Perfect Horseradish Cream for Beef:
- 8oz (1 C) Sour Cream
- Scant 1 C (6-7oz) Mayonnaise
- 1 T fresh lemon juice
- 1 T Worcestershire
- 8oz Fresh Ground Prepared Horseradish (found in refrigerated section of the grocery store; do not purchase a pre-prepared sauce from condiment aisle) Fold together ingredients and chill. Keeps for 7-10 days
Ham Glaze:
- 1 12 oz can Coke
- 1 Cup brown sugar
- 1 8oz can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 t ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t ground clove
In a saucepan, whisk coke and brown sugar together. Bring to a simmer – will resemble a syrup. Stir in crushed pineapple and simmer for a minute or two. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon and clove. Set aside. Spoon over ham before placing in the oven and during last 30 minutes of cooking.
Hint: purchase a pre-cooked, pre-sliced ham. Remember that all you are doing is reheating the ham. Before placing in the oven, ooze the sauce between the slices. Just before serving, ooze a bit more over the ham, and serve the remaining sauce to the side
