Baked Ham Recipe
and Bean Soup!

This chipotle glazed baked ham recipe is great for a sunday dinner at home with the family or as a compliment to any Thanksgiving recipe.

Served as a meal with your favorite sides such as corn, potatoes and beans, ham is a great change from the norm. And with Chef Jay's added twist, the chipotle glaze, you get an added smokey kick you don't normally get from a baked ham recipe.

But, even better than this baked ham recipe is what you can do with the leftover ham. Well, if there is any!



I'll show you a great baked ham recipe soup with beans that just makes the house smell fabulous. As the aroma from this soup fills the kitchen and makes it's way around the house, you'll have to beat the family away with a wooden spoon. I like to let it simmer for a few hours, to let the flavors combine, but if you can't wait, that is OK too. I understand;)

Glazed Baked Ham Recipe

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Directions:
- Trim fat and rind from ham. Score outside of ham in a diamond pattern, and stud with cloves. Place ham on a rack coated with cooking spray, and place rack in a shallow roasting pan.
- Combine sugar and next 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; stir well. Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat, and let cool; brush over ham.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees; continue baking 1 hour, basting ham with sugar mixture every 15 minutes.

Ham Recipe Soup with Beans

Ingredients:
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and sorted
1/2 cup navy beans, rinsed and sorted
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 jalapeņo, chopped
or
1 tablespoon chipotle puree,

Directions:
- Allow beans to soak overnight in covered pan in 4 cups water. Drain and rinse.
- Add all ingredients to crock pot on high heat, stirring occasionally, for one hour.
- Reduce heat, allow to simmer in crock pot covered 5 to 6 hours.
- Remove hamhock (if used) from pot, cut ham from bone and replace ham in pot. Discard bone.
- Stir and serve.

A wonderful traditional addition to bean soup is cornbread. I love to make a jalapeņo recipe for cornbread while waiting for the soup. The combination is great for a chilly winter afternoon. And of course the cornbread recipe goes great with any baked ham recipe, or with your holiday meals.
