Are you tired of the same old holiday recipes? Spice up your table with a delicious apple cider glazed ham and some delectable apple cider glazed donuts! These perfectly autumnal dishes will have your guests begging for the recipes.
First up, the ham. This succulent ham is cooked with a flavorful glaze made from apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and cloves. The glaze gives the ham a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that will leave your taste buds singing.
To make this dish, preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the ham in a roasting pan and score the outside in a diamond pattern. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, mustard, and cloves. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Brush the glaze over the ham and roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, basting every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Now, let’s move on to dessert. These apple cider glazed donuts are the perfect fall treat, with a moist cake texture and a sweet glaze made from apple cider, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. These donuts are baked, not fried, making them a healthier option that still delivers on taste.
To make the donuts, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider, egg, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into a greased donut pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the donuts cool slightly before removing them from the pan. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, and apple cider until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and let them cool before serving.
These dishes are sure to impress your guests and bring some delicious variety to your holiday table. So why not try something new this year and give these apple cider glazed ham and donuts a try? Your taste buds will thank you!
