Spiced Honey Mustard Cottage Ham with Purple Cabbage image

After both cooking processes, the cottage ham comes out very tender and juicy, and the honey mustard glaze adds an incredible contrast of flavors. Purple cabbage adds a nice pop of color and is a classic side to pair with pork. Garnish with fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves and serve with roasted or boiled potatoes and dinner rolls. Leftovers are great for ham sandwiches later in the week!

Time 2h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 pounds cottage ham
4 cups apple cider
2 yellow onions, quartered
6 fresh thyme sprigs
4 cloves garlic
2 dried bay leaves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons whole cloves
water to cover
1 (3 pound) purple cabbage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ cup honey mustard
¼ cup stone-ground mustard
¼ cup dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Place cottage ham in a large Dutch oven. Add cider, onions, thyme, garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, cloves, and enough water to cover cottage ham entirely. Cover, and place on high heat; bring to a boil, about 10 minutes. Once boiling, reduce heat, and cook on a low simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  • While ham is simmering, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut cabbage into quarters, remove core, and cut into 1-inch slices. Place cabbage slices in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
  • Stir together honey mustard, stone-ground mustard, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Once cottage ham has simmered, transfer ham to a roasting pan. Brush honey mustard mixture over entire cottage ham.
  • Bake in preheated oven until glaze has melted and a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While ham is baking, reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid in Dutch oven; discard solids and remaining liquid. Place Dutch oven over medium-high; add sliced cabbage, and stir to combine. Cover, and cook until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Arrange cabbage on a platter.
  • Remove cottage ham from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve slices and serve on top of cabbage.

BEST BOILED HAM AND CABBAGE



Best Boiled Ham and Cabbage image

There's nothing like a steaming pot of boiled ham and cabbage on a cold evening. The hearty, homey flavor makes for such a perfect comfort food that your family will never notice that all those veggies are good for them. The nutritional information is going to be off because the veggie amounts are sized for 6-8 servings, but the ham will leave you with plenty of leftovers to use in the many wonderful dishes that call for ham. Use any, all, or none of the optional veggies according to availability and personal taste.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -12 lbs half ham or 8 -12 lbs smoked pork shoulder
6 -8 small onions, peeled
6 -8 small red potatoes, scrubbed
6 -8 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
2 -3 parsnips, peeled and cut in chunks (optional)
1 -2 celeriac, bulbs peeled and cut in chunks (optional)

1 medium cabbage, cut in 6-8 wedges
12 -15 whole cloves
fresh ground black pepper
butter (optional)
cold water

Steps:

  • Stud the ham with the whole cloves, distributing them evenly over the surface.
  • Put ham and onions into a very large pot and cover with COLD water. Its important to use cold water because it draws the excess salt out of the meat and makes a more flavorful broth.
  • Bring to a boil slowly over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Add all the veggies except the cabbage. Raise heat and bring to a boil again. Reduce heat and simmer another 15 minutes or until the largest potatoes are nearly cooked.
  • Add the cabbage wedges. Raise heat and bring to a boil. Simmer another 10-20 minutes until cabbage is cooked but not mushy.
  • Use a large, slotted, serving spoon to remove all the veggies to a large serving dish.
  • Lift ham onto a platter and carve off a suitable number of servings for the meal.
  • Serve each person a slice of ham and a portion of each vegetable. Grind black pepper over the plate and offer butter for the potatoes and other roots if desired.
