Mango Jalapeno Ham Glaze
Report
This glaze combines diced mangoes cooked down with water and sugar into a thick, sweet base, enhanced by the heat of jalapeño and a splash of lemon juice. The result is a vibrant, fruity sauce with a balance of sweet and spicy that brightens ham during the final minutes of roasting.
Description
The Mango Jalapeno Ham Glaze is made by simmering diced mangoes with water and sugar until the fruit breaks down and creates a thick sauce. The addition of sliced, deseeded jalapeño introduces a gentle heat that contrasts with the mango's sweetness. Lemon juice adds acidity, rounding out the flavor and adding brightness to the glaze.
This glaze is applied to the ham during the last 10 minutes of its cooking time, allowing the sauce to adhere and caramelize slightly on the surface. The combination of tropical mango and spicy jalapeño complements the salty richness of the ham.
