This is a mustard glaze recipe posted by steelmagnolia2007 - I have used it for every ham I have made since she posted it in 2007 -- and it is so delicious & easy. It definitely has a slight mustard taste. I cook my ham the normal way I always do-and start applying the glaze 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time. 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed 3 T Dijon mustard 5 T Balsamic vinegar Score top of ham. Cook as you always do and apply glaze 30 minutes before end of cooking time. Mix glaze ingredients well in separate small bowl. Slather generously over all of the exposed ham. Continue cooking, uncovered, another 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. Mixing pan juices with a little bit of the glaze makes a fab gravy!

Makes 1 1/2 cups. Even though this is a traditional Jewish New Year cake, I'd like to share this one. Majestic and Moist New Year's Honey Cake Epicurious : September 2008 by Marcy Goldman A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking I like a New Year's honey cake to be extra moist and sweet, as good on the day of baking as it is days later. This one is queen of the realm��"rich, nicely spiced, in a word, majestic in taste and stature. I went through many variations and tasting sessions until I was satisfied with this definitive cake. One tester gave the ultimate compliment, saying "This one is worth the price of the book." Like most honey cakes, it is a good keeper and can be made a couple of days ahead. Yield: Makes 8-10. 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup honey 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup warm coffee or strong tea 1/2 cup fresh orange juice 1/4 cup rye or whisky (see Note) 1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds (optional) I like this cake best baked in a 9-inch angel food cake pan, but you can also make it in a 10-inch tube or bundt cake pan, a 9 by 13-inch sheetpan, or three 8 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Preheat the oven to 350ðF. Lightly grease the pan(s). For tube and angel food pans, line the bottom with lightly greased parchment paper. For gift honey cakes, I use "cake collars" (available from Sweet Celebrations) designed to fit a specific loaf pan. These give the cakes an appealing, professional look. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Make a well in the center and add the oil, honey, sugars, eggs, vanilla, coffee, orange juice, and rye or whisky. Using a strong wire whisk or an electric mixer on slow speed, combine the ingredients well to make a thick batter, making sure that no ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the bowl. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan(s) and sprinkle the top of the cake(s) evenly with the almonds. Place the cake pan(s) on 2 baking sheets stacked together and bake until the cake springs back when you touch it gently in the center. For angel and tube cake pans, bake for 60 to 70 minutes; loaf cakes, 45 to 55 minutes. For sheet-style cakes, the baking time is 40 to 45 minutes. This is a liquidy batter and, depending on your oven, it may need extra time. Cake should spring back when gently pressed. Let the cake stand for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan. Then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Note: If you prefer not to use the whisky, replace it with orange juice or coffee. o RE: Cookalong #36 ------ HONEY clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lowspark (My Page) on Tue, Oct 19, 10 at 8:44 moosemac, Those honey cookies sound good, but can that recipe be halved?

The recipe comes from "Green on Greens" 1984 cookbook by Bert Greene: ELIZABETHAN BRAISED AND GLAZED CARROTS "To my mind, the classic carrot rendition is ultimately the simplest - in this case merely tossed with butter plus an amendment of honey. Since Queen Elizabeth I of England was responsible for the carrot's initial popularity, can one pay greater homage than to name it in her honor?" Ingredients: 2 Tbsps. unsalted butter 1 shallot, minced 1 lb. carrots, peeled, sliced into rounds (I cut them on the diagonal) 1/2 cup chicken stock 1 1/2 Tbsps. honey 1/8 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add the shallot; cook 1 minute. Stir in the sliced carrots and chicken stock. Cover and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add the honey and nutmeg. Raise heat slighly and cook, uncovered, until liquid becomes syrupy. Remove from heat, toss in chopped parsley.

Love the honey lemon drizzle over the grilled marinated chicken. *********************************************************** Greek Chicken Thighs Serves 5-6 2-3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt Pinch of black pepper Honey Lemon Drizzle 3 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons lemon juice In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, salt,oregano and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat chicken well with olive oil mixture. Set aside until ready to cook. (You can do this ahead of time and just leave it covered in the refrigerator until needed.) Move oven rack as close to top as possible. Preheat oven to 500. Place chicken on cookie sheet or roasting rack in a single even layer. Cook for about 8 minutes. While chicken is cooking, mix together lemon juice and honey. After chicken is fully cooked, drizzle honey lemon juice mixture over. Return chicken to oven for another 1-2 minutes, or until it is slightly charred and golden. For additional flavor, you can drizzle more honey and lemon mixture if you so desire. o RE: Cookalong #36 ------ HONEY clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by ann_t (My Page) on Tue, Oct 19, 10 at 10:50 I made this corn bread recently. Sweet and moist. Honey-Glazed Spago Corn Bread Source: Food Gal (makes one 9-by-13-inch pan) 1 cup yellow cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup cake flour 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 4 large eggs, at room temperature 3 ounces (3/4 stick) unsalted butter 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 cup milk 1/2 cup buttermilk For glaze: 3 ounces (3/4 stick) unsalted butter 1/4 cup honey 1/3 cup water Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray foil with pan spray. Sift together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt 2 times. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs. Melt butter and immediately whisk into eggs in a slow stream. Whisk in oil, milk, and buttermilk. Whisk in dry ingredients just until combined. Scrape batter into the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate pan from front to back and continue to bake for 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. To make the glaze: While corn bread is baking, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add honey and water, and whisk until blended. When corn bread is done, remove from oven and poke holes all over the bread, about 1/2 inch apart, with a toothpick. Brush with the glaze and allow to cool.

I have lots of local honey in my pantry right now so will definitely try some of the recipes in this thread. This is my #1 favorite method for preparing a whole or half of smoked ham. DURGIN-PARK BAKED HAM 1 (5 to 6 pound) fully cooked ham 3/4 cup fresh orange juice 1/2 cup dry sherry 1 cup honey Whole cloves 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 2 Tbs. dry mustard Trim the skin from the ham, leaving a thin, even layer of fat. With a skewer, poke the ham all over at 2-inch intervals. Place the ham in a large resealable plastic bag, and place in a large shallow pan. Combine the orange juice, sherry, and honey; pour over the ham and seal the bag securely. Marinate in the refrigerator for three days, turning the ham every 12 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the ham from the bag, reserving the marinade. In a shallow roasting pan, with the ham fat side up, score the fat in a diamond design and stud with cloves. Insert a meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch bone. Pour all but a tablespoon of the marinade over the ham. Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat thermometer registers 130 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and the tablespoon of the reserved marinade and brush the exposed portion of the ham. Cover with a tent of aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 140. Remove from the oven and allow the meat to stand for 10 minutes; then thinly slice and serve. 10 to 12 servings. o RE: Cookalong #36 ------ HONEY clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by jude31 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 19, 10 at 20:55 I made these one day last week...could have just as easily posted it on New Recipes.

Haven't made it yet but I plan to next time I need a dessert. Got mostly pretty good reviews. Chocolate Honey Almond Tart Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis, 2008 1/2 stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature, plus extra for coating the pan 9 chocolate graham crackers, 5 1/2-ounces total 2 tablespoons slivered almonds 3/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup honey 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the graham crackers and almonds in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture forms fine crumbs, about 15 to 20 seconds. Add the butter and pulse until incorporated. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes. In a small saucepan, whisk the cream and honey together over low heat until the honey has dissolved. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to just below a boil. Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and stir until the mixture is smooth. Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight. Loosen the tart from the sides of the pan by running a thin metal spatula around the edge. Unmold the tart and transfer to a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

LOU Ingredients 6 eggs 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 pound butter 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 4 vanilla beans 2 tablespoon baking powder 1 gallon vegetable oil 1 pound honey 1 small jar candy sprinkles Directions Break the eggs and whisk. Put eggs through a strainer to make sure they are mixed properly. Add sugar to eggs and mix immediately to prevent sugar from burning eggs. Bring butter to room temperature. Flake butter into the flour. Split vanilla beans and scrape out the seeds and add them to the sugar/egg mixture. Put mixture into a mixer and mix (using dough hook) and slowly add the flour. Let dough rest in a cool dry place. Roll out the dough into small quantities. Cut dough into 1/2-inch strips and cut 1/2-inch pieces from the strips. Place the 1/2-inch squares onto a baking pan. Put vegetable oil into a large pot and bring to 350 degrees. Fry small quantities of the dough squares in the oil and when golden brown, place onto a baking pan lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. When all dough is fried, let cool to room temperature. In a saucepan, heat the honey (not to a boil) and add small quantities of the fried dough to the pan. Stir lightly with a large slotted spoon. Remove from saucepan and place onto a serving plate and sprinkle with candy sprinkles. Here are Photo's by leographia.

But, since you posted I can use that one, so how about sol's honey rolls? Or baklava, which my mother just adores? Honey Rolls 1 cup milk 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup butter [1 stick] 2 teaspoos salt 1-2 tablespoons granulated sugar* 2 pkges. dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water [110ú-115úF] 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 6 - 6 1/2 cups AP flour Heat the milk, add butter and salt. Set aside while butter melts. Stir in the honey. In another bowl, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Let it sit until yeast is completely dissolved, about 6-7 minutes. Combine milk mixture with yeast mixture. And stir in the beaten eggs. Beat in 4 cups flour. Add enough remaining flour to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to coat both sides. Cover and allow dough to rise 1 hour. Punch dough down, and allow to rise another hour. Punch down again, and shape dough into rolls. Let it rise again 45 minutes to an hour or until doubled in volume. Preheat your oven to 375úF and bake rolls for 25 minutes or until a deep golden brown. For a very soft crust, brush rolls with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven. Note: You could omit the sugar from this recipe altogether. I sometimes use about a teaspoon of the honey called for in the recipe to feed the yeast instead of the sugar. Baklava 1 pound frozen phyllo sheets 1 cup melted butter 2 cups finely chopped walnuts or blanched almonds 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup honey 1 cup water 1 tablespoon lemon juice Thaw phyllo pastry and separate sheets according to package directions. Keep pastry not being used covered with clean damp dish towel to keep it from drying out. Place half of pastry sheets in a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan, one by one, brushing each sheet quickly and all over with melted butter. Combine nuts, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over buttered pastry. Place remaining sheets on top, brushing each with melted butter. Cut baklava pastry into 2-inch diamonds. Bake at 400ð until brown and crisp, about 30 to 35 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine remaining 3/4 cup sugar, honey, 1 cup water, and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Boil baklava syrup for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrupy. Cool and pour over baklava.

Both my mom & I were cooks for 30+ years-both having owned our own restaurants and I also had a big nightclub. Along with other eateries we worked in over the years-I'm proud to say they are still being made & served in 3 counties in PA! I have given the LARGE quantity amounts for a reason (you can cut recipe in half). With the holidays coming-you might want to start a tradition that I have done since 1968--I buy the little jelly jars & give a jar of each of these to my neighbors and also to guests of my annual Xmas party. A pair of these-(presented in a small foil Xmas bag with festive ribbon) to folks on your list-will be appreciated. My people even give me back the jars after they're gone-assuring them of more the next year! LOL! Any questions-email me. ZESTY FRENCH DRESSING ************************* 8 small cans tomato soup, - 6 cups sugar, 6 cups CIDER vinegar, 3 cups of salad oil, 3 cups Lemon juice, 2 bottles (5 oz each) worchestershire sauce, 2 Tbs. each..salt and pepper, 2-3 Tbs. fresh chopped garlic, ** Put in deep pot to mix, using a whisk to blend well, after adding each ingredient. Pour into a jug(s)-filling 3/4 full and ADD...1 whole onion. Refridgerate for at least 2-3 days before using. Of course-the onion is just to flavor the dressing in the big jug! Ahead of time..you can go to any restaurant & ask for their empty gallon jugs (like their mayonaise comes in). Use these to store dressings in, until time to portion in jelly jars. Keeps 2 months under refridgeration. 6.__________________________________________________________ SHARON"S SWEET & SOUR BACON DRESSING Posted by: Sharon_fl ) on Sun, Dec 8, 02 at 23:36 ************************************** (makes 1 and 1/2 gallons) 2lbs. bacon, fried crisp-SAVE grease!' 12 eggs (beaten with spoon)' 11 cups sugar' 1 TBS salt' In a DEEP, HEAVY pot..put eggs & beat with a spoon, until broken up well. Add about 2/3 of the grease from the bacon, to the pot. Mix the sugar & salt into the eggs, until well blended. THEN ADD: ************** 2 cups flour' 3Tbs and 1 tsp. dry mustard' * Mix until well blended THEN ADD: ************** 5 cups cider vinegar' 10 cups warm water' *MIX WELL, using whisk! Heat on medium, and still frequently, but NOT constantly, since constant stirring loses heat & takes mixture longer to thicken! This will take around 20-30 minutes to thicken. You DON'T want it real thick-more like a medium thick gravy, as mixture will thicken more as it cools. If it does get away from you & gets too thick? Add HOT water- a little at a time-immediately-not after it cools! *When done-add 3Tbs of margarine or butter to the hot dressing & blend in. **This is best served warm (nuke for 30 seconds). ***Great on Spinach Salads, lettuce salad, Baked Potatoes or green beans. 7.__________________________________________________________ Fresh Onion Dressing Posted by: MQmoi (My Page) on Sun, Mar 2, 03 at 22:02 Since I have a few dressings in the FAQ and one person tried it and liked it, I'd like to add this one. Those casseroles would be good to add too. We often have requests for them. Hint. Hint. :) _____________________________ This is delicious. It uses one whole sliced thin onion, so the onion is like another ingredient for a green leafy salad (with grape tomatoes). We had it twice this week. It is from the Trellis Cookbook. I want to try it sometime on a Salad Nicoise. Fresh Onion Dressing 6 T. apple cider vinegar, 3 T. fresh lemon juice, 4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard, ½ t. salt, ¼ t. black pepper, 1 ½ c. olive oil, 1 small onion sliced thin (I used a mandolin), 2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil, 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, ½ T. minced garlic, 2 anchovies, minced (I omitted) In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking continuously until all the oil has been incorporated. Add the onion, basil, thyme, garlic, and anchovies and combine thoroughly. Cover with film wrap and refrigerate until needed. Chefs Touch: For this dressing, you may use a mixture of herbs such as marjoram, oregano and parsley, in addition to basil land thyme. It is better to use only ONE fresh herb, however, should only one be available, rather than to add dried herbs. The dressing is quite assertive when first prepared. I would suggest making it from 4 to 24 hours before serving. The flavors will mingle and mellow. May be kept covered and refrigerated for 3 to 4 days. 8._________________________________________________________ Sausage And Rosemary Sauce Posted by: Ann_T (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 03 at 11:53 Patty, You can add this one to the FAQ file. Ann Home Cookin 4.9 Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Adapted from: Robert Alda's 99 Ways to Cook Pasta Sausage And Rosemary Sauce ========================== 4 to 6 Italian Sausage, hot or sweet, or combination Olive oil 2 shallots, 3 ounces of Mortadella, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 tablespoon dried or fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 2 to 4 cans tomatoes (depending on number of sausages) . Par boil sausage for 2 to 4 minutes. Mince Mortedella and shallots in food processor. Heat in oil in large pot and add mortadella and shallots. Remove casings from sausage and mince in processor and add to pot. Cook until meat starts to brown on the bottom. Add the rosemary and basil and the wine. Simmer until wine has evaporated. Puree tomatoes but leave some texture and add to pot. Simmer for at least 1 hour. Remove any fat that surfaces. Serve over fusilli or Conchiglioni (shell) shaped pasta, to pick up the little bits of sausage. Options: I have made this without the Mortadella and it works. When I don't have good Italian Sausage I make this same dish using ground pork and season it as if it were sausage. Saute the pork and season with the shallots, couple of cloves of garlic, hot red pepper flakes, grind some fennel(optional) with the rosemary and basil, and then follow the above directions. (Tastes almost identical) Servings: 6

That sounds good Joan! I made a ham last week and used a Jacques Pepin recipe using maple syrup, ketchup,hot chili sauce (sriracha) and balsamic vinegar. It has an awesome flavour.
