Ingredients

Directions

Glazed Ham

Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C. Place ham on a rack in a shallow foil-lined roasting pan. Heat ham according to directions on label.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan heat Rosé Pear marinade and brown sugar, bring to boiling; boil uncovered 5 minutes, until syrupy.

One half hour before ham is done, turn up oven heat to 425°F/220°C. Pour off drippings from pan, score ham fat diamond fashion.

Spoon Rosé Pear glaze over ham. Bake 30 minutes longer, basting with glaze 2 or 3 times.

To serve, place on large serving platter and surround ham with several Rosé Pears. Garnish with watercress. Serve any remaining rosé Pears in separate bowl.

Rosé Pears & Rosé Pear Marinade - prepare the day before serving

Drain 1 can of pears, reserve syrup. Drain second can of pears, discarding syrup.

In 1-qt/1-L saucepan, combine reserved pear syrup, rosé wine or cranberry juice, lemon juice, pickling spices, cloves and red food coloring.

Heat to boiling; boil uncovered, 3 minutes.

Arrange drained pear halves in shallow glass baking dish. Strain spiced Rosé pear marinade over pears, cover with plastic film. Refrigerate overnight. Stir occasionally so pears color evenly.

Pour off 3/4 cup/175 mL marinade from pears to use in glaze for ham. Serve remaining rosé pears as an accompaniment for Glazed Ham.
