I love a Christmas ham and after a few keto Christmas's I have mastered the Keto ham glaze
1 Christmas Ham
Glaze
3/4C Monkfruit
1/4C Sugar Free Maple Syrup
2TBSP Dijon mustard
2 TBSP Apple Cider vinegar
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
tsp salt
Cloves
1 C water
- Pre heat oven to 160 degrees
- Pour water into the bottom of a roasting pan, add cloves (or stud your ham with them in step 5)
- Place a rack into the pan (over the top of the water)
- Place the ham on the rack
- Slice the top of the ham diagonally by cutting lines about 2.5cm apart lengthwise and crosswise so you end up with a criss cross pattern
- Bake ham for 20mins covered with tinfoil covering it
- Combine the glaze ingredients and whish until it has a smooth consistency
- Once the initial 20mins is up remove ham from the oven and brush the glaze all over the ham
- Return the ham to the oven (covered) and continue to glaze every 20 mins until the glaze is golden and ham heated through (I tend to do 45-55 mins per kg) Stop covering the ham about 1/2 way through cooking time to get a lovely golden, sticky glaze
- If you want to crisp up the top of the ham turn on the grill for about 5 mins, but watch constantly so it doesn't burn
