I like this petite smoked ham from Trader Joe's because it is not only delicious but is also sustainably raised and has no nitrities or nitrates added. Follow the package directions by adding water to a pan, placing the ham in it and covering with foil before reheating in the oven. I like to put a cross hatch pattern on the ham with a knife and stud it with cloves. It adds visual appeal and flavor. I served this with two super simple sauces that passed muster with the kids, maple mustard and ginger apple butter. Here are the ratios for the sauces:
Maple Mustard Sauce (double it if you are serving more than 4 people
- 2 tablespoons Trader Joe's Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's grade B maple syrup
Gingered Apple Butter (double if you are serving more than 4 people)
- 2 tablespoons Trader Joe's apple butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Trader Joe's ginger spread
Enjoy!
