Jalapeño Honey Ham Sandwich Recipes

JALAPEñO-HONEY HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix honey and peppers.
• Spread toast slices with butter, then mustard and honey mixture.
• Fill toast with remaining ingredients to make 6 sandwiches.

HONEY HAM SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and shortening and cut together with a pastry cutter. Gently stir in the buttermilk using a fork. Knead the mixture a few times with your hands until the dough comes together.
• Tip the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to about 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 12 biscuits and transfer to a baking sheet.
• For the topping: Brush the biscuit tops with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and bake until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, Dijon, parsley and remaining 8 tablespoons melted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
• For the sandwiches: Preheat the broiler.
• Split the biscuits in half and return to the baking sheet cut-side up. Brush the cut sides with the honey butter. Place 2 halved ham pieces on the bottom of each biscuit and top each with a slice of cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and pour over the remaining honey butter. Place the tops on the biscuits and serve.

JALAPENO POPPER GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapeno in a small bowl. Set aside. Preheat skillet over medium heat.
• Slice each roll in half horizontally, then slice the rounded tops off the ciabatta rolls to make a flat top half. Spread 1 teaspoon butter on the doughy cut side of the bottom bun and 1 teaspoon butter on the now flattened top bun. Place half of the cream cheese mixture, half of the crushed chips, and half of the shredded cheese on the non-buttered side of the bottom bun. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and place the sandwich on the hot skillet. Repeat with the second sandwich.
• Grill until lightly browned and flip over, about 3 to 5 minutes; continue grilling until cheese is melted and the second side is golden brown.

BLACKBERRY JALAPENO GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high. Place jalapeno peppers on a baking sheet.
• Broil in the preheated oven, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until skin on the jalapenos is blackened and bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove jalapeno peppers from oven and place in a resealable plastic bag; set aside for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully open the bag and remove jalapeno peppers; let sit until easily handled. Peel blackened skin from jalapeno peppers, slice open, remove the seeds, and mince the pepper.
• Combine jalapeno peppers, blackberries, water, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, orange-flavored liqueur, garlic, and orange zest in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue simmering until glaze has reduced in size and is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes more. Mash the glaze with a potato masher until blackberries are broken down. Remove saucepan from heat.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush some of the glaze over the ham; cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting with glaze every 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 3 hours. Remove ham from oven and brush with more glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

JALAPENO HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• For the ham: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the lowest level.
• Using a sharp paring knife or box cutter, score the entire fat layer of the ham with deep cuts (being careful to not cut into the meat) in a 1/2-inch-wide diamond pattern.
• Place the ham cut side-down in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add water to the bottom of the roasting pan about 1/2 inch deep. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the honey, jam, mustard, vinegar, garlic, jalapeno, orange zest and juice and pepper to taste until combined. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the foil from the ham and spoon the pan drippings over the top; then generously brush the glaze all over. Continue baking the ham, uncovered, and repeat the basting with juices and brushing with glaze every 20 minutes until the glaze is deep golden brown and caramelized or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per pound, about 1 hour more.
• Loosely cover the ham with foil and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature as a main course, or prepare a sandwich bar.
• For the ham sandwich bar: Arrange all the ingredients on the table or counter. I like to assemble my sandwich like this: Put cheese and then a couple of slices of ham on a bun bottom. On the bun top, dollop mustard and mayo, then top with cornichons and Pickled Red Onions. Close up the sandwich.
• To a saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaf, red pepper flakes to taste and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Put the onions in a heatproof container and pour the boiling pickling liquid over them. Let the onions sit for 30 minutes to let cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
