Holiday Ham with Glazed Carrots

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 275°F. Place the ham on a baking dish or sheet tray, add enough water to cover 1/2 inch of the surface of the dish. Cover tightly with foil. Bake according to package instructions, about 15 minutes per pound.

Step 2

Peel carrots and set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan on medium heat, add butter, brown sugar & a splash of water. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Add apple cider vinegar & a pinch of salt to the sauce. Mix to combine & set aside. The sauce will thicken more as it sits!

Step 5

When the ham has about 30 minutes left to cook, remove it from the oven. Add the carrots, place the foil back on & finish cooking.

Step 6

Remove ham & carrots from the oven. Let the ham rest. Meanwhile, add the carrots to a skillet on medium heat. Add 3/4 of the sauce & cook for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Slice the ham into 1/4 inch thick slices. Serve the ham with the glazed carrots. Garnish with fresh parsley if you have. Top the ham with the additional sauce & enjoy!
