Title: Ham with Beer
Post by: JohnQ on February 08, 2011, 06:46:45 PM

Just tried this recipe from About.com...

I used my NG Vindicator Bock, 'twas great.

A baked ham with a brown sugar-sweetened beer glaze.
Cook Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 45 minutes
Ingredients:

    * 1 fully cooked ham, about 3 to 4 pounds
    * 1 cup beer
    * ******
    * Beer Glaze
    * ******
    * 1 cup brown sugar
    * 1 tablespoon flour
    * 1 teaspoon dry mustard
    * 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    * beer to make a smooth paste

Preparation:
Place ham in an uncovered roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of beer over the ham; bake at 350° for 1 hour. Baste with the pan drippings every 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine ingredients for beer glaze, using enough beer to make a smooth, paste-like glaze. Remove ham from oven and score fat diagonally in a criss-cross pattern. Stud with whole cloves and spread with the beer glaze. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes longer, or until well glazed and cooked through. The internal temperature of a fully cooked ham should be at least 135°.

well, ham is on the shopping list. I've made a brown sugar-pinapple glaze a bunch of times, but never thought of beer for this use. I think a dark beer (which I have) would work very well.

I am genuinely craving both this recipe and a pint of that Hefe Kyle had at the meeting.

Kyle: you got enough grain/hops to sell me the bill for that Hefe?

I got nothing; was looking to buy. As the keen entrepreneurial type that I am, I could probably buy some MO off Dave to swap for the grain bill :P

Next bulk grain order, I'm all over it like flies on stink.
