How to Make Cherry Dijon Glazed Ham
- Drain one (15 ounce) can of cherries, reserving 1/4 cup of the syrup.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the reserved cherry syrup, 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons cherry juice concentrate.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove 1/3 cup of the glaze and set aside.
- Stir the drained cherries into the remaining glaze.
- Cover the saucepan and refrigerate the cherry glaze until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Brush a fully cooked 5-7 pound ham with the remaining 1/4 cup Dijon mustard.
- Place the ham in a baking dish and bake according to package directions, basting occasionally with the reserved 1/3 cup glaze during the last 30 minutes of baking time.
- Meanwhile, gently heat the refrigerated cherry glaze over medium-low heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
- Carve the ham and serve warm, topped generously with the warm cherry sauce.
