Best Red Currant Ham Sauce Recipes
RED CURRANT SAUCE
Recipe I came up with to serve with a chicken dish but I think it would be also suited to other poulty and game meats. I didn't use a great amount of sugar so the sauce retains a bit of tartness from the currants which was what I was after rather than anything too sweet. Note that it's quite a thin sauce rather than a thick one, aimed at things like rice and battered items that will soak it up, but you could always thicken it with cornflour.

Steps:
- Combine ingredients in medium saucepan.
- Start cooking over medium temperature and lower after a while to maintain a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- I started with frozen currants and cooked for 25 minutes, I imagine 20 minutes would be sufficient for fresh currants and the first 5 minutes was more or less defrosting them.

RED CURRANT HAM GLAZE
My replication of the red currant glaze that use to come with Costco's Kirkland Master Carve Ham. This glaze is enough for half ham with a little leftover to use at the table.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, add all the ingredients. Stir to combine.
- Put the pan over medium heat. Cook until warm. Set aside.
- When the ham is about 20 minutes from being done or at 120 degrees. Remove the ham from the oven and apply the glaze with a pastry brush.
- Return the ham to the oven and finish cooking. Internal temperature needs to be 140 degrees.
- Save any leftover glaze to be used at the table.
CURRANT MUSTARD-GLAZED HAM
Steps:
- If the ham comes with the skin still attached, remove most of it with a sharp knife, leaving a collar of skin around the shank bone and a layer of fat. Trim the fat, leaving a layer about 1/3 inch thick, score the layer remaining into diamonds, and stud the center of each diamond with a clove. Bake the ham on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 350°F. oven for 55 minutes.
- In a small saucepan heat the jelly over moderate heat, stirring, until it is melted and smooth, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the mustard. Spoon the glaze over the ham, spreading it evenly, and bake the ham for 30 to 35 minutes more, or until the glaze is brown and bubbly. Transfer the ham to a platter and let it stand for 15 minutes before carving. If planning to make the ham, spinach, and pasta gratin (page 117), reserve 1 pound of the carved ham, covered and chilled.
