Plum Sauce Glazed Ham with Soy & Scallion Butter Roasted Potatoes
Description
Plum Sauce Glazed Ham is prepared by warming a bone-in spiral ham covered in foil, then brushing it with a glaze made from plum sauce, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and five-spice powder during the final 30 minutes of roasting. This imparts layers of balanced sweetness, umami, and warm spice atop the already cooked ham.
Meanwhile, Yukon gold potatoes are scrubbed and cut into chunks, then seasoned lightly with salt, pepper, and olive oil. They roast at high heat to develop a golden exterior while remaining tender inside. After roasting, the potatoes are tossed with soy sauce, melted butter, and chopped scallions, adding a savory depth and fresh herbaceous finish.
The ham pairs well with the potatoes for a hearty meal suitable for gatherings or feast days. The glaze complements the natural richness of the ham without overwhelming it. The potatoes add a textured contrast with their buttery, slightly salty, and aromatic profile.
Though a double oven simplifies timing, the recipe can be managed in a single oven by resting the ham while roasting the potatoes separately. The included notes mention that nutrition info covers both main components.
Ingredients
For the ham:
- 1 ham about 10-12 pounds, spiral sliced, bone-in, half
- 2/3 cup plum sauce (for a milder flavor, substitute plum jam)
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
For the potatoes:
- 3 lbs potato scrubbed and cut into chunks, Yukon gold variety
- olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 2 scallions (chopped)
Instructions
- Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan, cover tightly in foil, and begin warming according to the package instructions. Mix together the plum sauce, honey, soy sauce, dijon, and five spice powder to make the glaze. Before the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and brush the glaze all over the ham. Roast for the last 30 minutes uncovered, basting the ham with more glaze halfway through.
- Meanwhile, toss the potatoes on a baking sheet in olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper (Not too much! Remember, you’ll be tossing it in soy sauce, which is also salty). Roast the potatoes for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to get them to brown evenly. Toss the potatoes in the soy sauce, melted butter, and scallions. Serve alongside the ham!
- Note: This recipe obviously is easier if you have a double oven, but it can be done with one oven by allowing the ham to rest, covered, after it’s baked. During that time, you can roast the potatoes and serve everything together once they’re done!
Notes
- Nutrition information accounts for both the ham and the potatoes together.
- For easier timing, a double oven can be used, but resting the ham while roasting potatoes in the same oven works as well.
