Bacon-Wrapped Ham with a Pineapple-Agave Glaze

• 1 fully-cooked,quarter, half, or whole ham (preferably nitrite and nitrate free)
• 12 ounces bacon
• 1/4 cup 100% pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons agave, or 100% maple syrup if agave is not available
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• Pinch of paprika
• Pinch of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees.

Place your ham in a baking or roasting dish. For quarter or half hams, cook the ham with the face down. For a whole ham, place the ham face up. Cover the ham, entirely and securely, with aluminum foil, as not to dry it out. Cook the ham in the oven for 12-15 minutes per pound. Do not overcook!

While the ham is baking, combine the glaze ingredients (pineapple juice, agave, Dijon, pumpkin pie spice, and additional spices) in a small bowl. Place the glaze in the refrigerator until the ham is ready. Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven.

Turn up your oven to 400 degrees.

Brush the glaze over your ham. Arrange the bacon strips across the shorter side of the ham, forming an arch of bacon over the ham. Secure with as many toothpicks as necessary. Brush the bacon layer with your remaining glaze. Return to the bacon-wrapped ham to the oven, uncovered, for 12-18 minutes. Be sure to check on the bacon to make sure it doesn’t burn.  

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

The exact contours of the meal vary from region to region and household to household. I set out to design a seven-course menu that hopefully would gratify the palate and fortify the system.

  Herb-Crusted Standing Rib Roast

  
  

  Roasts are among our favorite all-occasion main dishes. From the simplest roast chicken to the most spectacular crown roast, this cooking method creates juicy meat and flavorful pan drippings from which to make gravy or just drizzle over the finished dish.
  Fennel seed, thyme, and rosemary make a fragrant rub for this holiday-worthy main course. Whole heads of garlic cook along with the beef, becoming tender and sweet.

ingredients

8 vegetarian sausages
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cup skim milk
5 tablespoons flour
2 cups Bisquick Reduced Fat baking mix
3/4 cup skim milk

directions

Cook "sausage" and cool. Bring chicken broth to a boil. Thoroughly mix flour and milk (in blender). Pour slowly into broth whisking constantly. Cook until thickened.

Add spices to taste (poultry seasoning and black pepper). Make biscuits by combining Bisquick mix with 3/4 cup milk. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes until done. When ready to serve, combine chopped "sausage" with gravy. Serve immediately over biscuits. 

cook's notes

Don't let the "sausage" sit too long in the gravy, it starts to get mushy pretty quickly.
