A Honey Thyme Glaze For Ham Recipe

December 28, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

For Christmas I had people staying in my house so I cooked a lot. One of the meals I made was a Honey Thyme Glaze. I am a Mizkan Ambassador and compensated for recipes I create. My opinions are my own. Check the Holland House Facebook page for more ways to use cooking wine. & Check out the NAKANO Facebook page for more information on Vinegar and it’s uses.

For my Hormel Ham that I purchased with a $10 off coupon that I received from being a member of the Hormel Family.

Honey Thyme Glaze Recipe

  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp dry thyme
  • 1/4 cup NAKANO Mango vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
    Honey Thyme Glaze adapted from Gourmet

Directions for Ham and Glaze:

 

Remove the ham from the refrigerator (still wrapped) a couple of hours before you intend to cook it so that it can get closer to room temperature.

Mix all the ingredients for the glaze together

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham, fattier side up, in a foil-lined roasting pan. Score a diamond pattern in the fat with a sharp knife, about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch deep, and the parallel lines about 1 1/2-inches apart. You can score the fat to as deep as where the fat meets the meat. If you want you can first cut off any skin that might still be on the ham, but it isn’t necessary. I didn’t. Then pour half of the glaze over the ham. 

Place ham in oven. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours (check after 1 hour, will take longer if the ham is not at room temp to begin with), or about 10 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature of the ham is 110°-120° (use a meat thermometer). (Note that the ham is already cooked when you buy it, all you are trying to do is heat it up for eating.) Baste the ham with the glaze a couple of times during the cooking. If you check on the ham and think that the glaze is at risk of getting too browned (like on the way to burnt), you can cover with a piece of foil.

Then enjoy!

Eco Cleaning Tips for the Holidays

December 21, 2010 by Momstart 3 Comments

Today Summer, our green writer here at Mom Start, has some great product recommendations for your holiday cleaning!

 

Seventh Generation LogoIf you’re planning for guests this season then you’re probably thinking about all the cleaning you have to get done. Now’s the time to start! I love to use Seventh Generation’s products and on their site you can find coupons to clean up your house and bonuses for things like eco-friendly diapers and paper products. I really like the Seventh Generation All Purpose Cleaner. If you’re wonder how green these products really are then you can go on the Seventh Generation site to see all the features and benefits of their products such as non-toxic and biodegradable.

simple green logoI also love to use Simple Green which I can find at Costco in a concentrated bottle. I get to choose how I mix it for either heavy cleaning or everyday use in multipurpose cleaning.

My all-time favorite natural and expensive cleaner is vinegar. You can use vinegar anywhere and many cleaners are beginning to advertise they include vinegar in their product. You don’t have to settle for vinegar added though … you can make your own cleaner using vinegar and 1001 Uses for White Distilled Vinegar is your site! They have all the tips you need to use vinegar as a cleaner – around the house, in the laundry, garden, and car – as well as other uses from health to pets and of course cooking. I have used a solution in a spray bottle of 1 cup vinegar to 1 gallon of water to clean around my house. Using the vinegar tips will help you clean anything! And if you know a trick or tip and don’t see it on the site you can click and send it in to 1001 Uses for White Distilled Vinegar.

 

Remember, Summer has no affiliation with any of these brands, she really likes to use them! I had to go and check out Simple Green because I thought it was just a brand name, I had no idea that they consider themselves the first “green” cleaner. Ha, I’m so out of touch with being green and eco friendly, I’m so thankful for Summer to share all of these tricks and tips with us. Here is more about Simple Green. Simple Green even has a naturals, line. Simple Green Naturals are 100% naturally derived, with ingredients originating from nature: chicory, coconut, corn, palm, naturally occurring minerals, salt and sugar, and water. Nothing else.

 

I have worked with Simple Green before in the past, and have to disclose that because it’s my blog. I have never worked with Seventh Generation or represented Vinegar before. Winking smile
