Reviews
I make this every year for Thanksgiving & also for Easter. It makes the ham so delicious! The chipotles have a nice little kick of heat that is just right.
What a HIT at the Christmas table last year! This one is a keeper!
This is my husband’s favorite ham recipe. I love that it’s a traditional ham, but with a kick to make it not just the plain old dish. I’ve tried it a few different ways. I usually use dried chipotle powder since the fresh are hard to find and I’ve tried it with apricot nectar too. Any way we make it, it’s always a huge hit.
I used orange-mango-agave nectar instead of peach. Whats with the peach anyways? anywho since my last hysterectomy all I want to do is eat ham! any other ladies have this? Its a great dish and my three little ones have just a barrel of fun with the spiral cut peices- if we could just keep our little dog Mr. Wiggles out of the ham we could have some for leftovers! Lol!
So chipotles are dried smoked jalapenos. Do they need reconstituted before cutting up? Or has anyone used the chipoltles in adobe sauce and rinsed off the sauce?
I also used orange-mango juice and mango nectar instead of peach. This was THE BEST! Not too sweet, not too spicy. The ingredients balanced each other out perfectly. We had this for Chirstmas AND New Years…Next I’m putting this glaze on some wings for the superbowl!!!!
Made this for thanksgiving and it turned out great! (It outshined everything else on the table it was that good. I will be sure to make this again next year.
Yes indeedie!
OMG!!! THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST HAM I EVER HAD. I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS HAM AGAIN ON EASTER…. THANK U BIG DADDY!
I made this ham for Christmas 2010 and I will do it this year for 2011. I rinsed my chipotles well and removed the seeds and minced them. The pepper goes well with the sweetness. I will use mango-orange juice instead of peach nectar. Day-after ham is the best, saving the hambone and drippings for greens on New Year’s Eve. Thanks Big Daddy.
