Sugar Free Ham Glaze

Inspired by Baritric Eating Recipe Box

Ingredients

1 8-9 pounds spiral sliced ham

1 10-ounce jar Smuckers Sugar Free Orange Marmalade or Apricot preserves

2/3 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1/3 cup Grey Poupon mustard

Whole cloves (we substituted ground cloves into the mixture)

Directions

Blend preserves, orange juice, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, lower heat to a gentle simmer and reduce until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, and whisk in mustard. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, and fan spral sliced ham. This will allow the glaze to penetrate the inside of the ham. Pour glaze of ham, allowing it to seep between the slices. Bake for 15 minutes per pound at 300 degrees, basting occasionally. Remove from oven and let ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing

Ingredients
¼ cup olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary, or ½ teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, or great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon red wine or cider vinegar
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepperKosher salt (use kosher salt in the kitchen as the flakes have great flavor)
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium low heat. Slowly cook the onions and garlic for 5 to 6 minutes until soft, stirring constantly. Add the rosemary and smoked paprika and cook an additional minute. In a food processor, blend the cannellini beans, sautéed onion mixture, vinegar, red pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt until smooth. Slowly add the remaining olive oil. Add additional salt and lots of black pepper to taste.

Transfer to covered bowl and chill to allow flavors to blend. Bring the dip to room temperature before serving – about twenty minutes - so the flavors of the ingredients come out.

This dip is also crazy delicious when baked in a medium oven proof dish at 325 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes, until bubbling around the edges.Makes 2 cups.
