SPIRAL HAM SANDWICH RECIPES

Steps:

• For the Cheese Butter:
• Bring both soft cheese and butter to room temperature.
• Remove the rind from the cheese and whisk together with the butter until thoroughly incorporated.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• The Cheese Butter will hold in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• To assemble the sandwich:
• Slice the baguette in half and place in a broiler cut side up, or on a grill or griddle cut side down, and toast until golden brown.
• Lightly dress the arugula with lemon juice and olive oil and set aside.
• Spread the Cheese Butter evenly on the bottom half of the baguette and spread the strawberry jam evenly on the top half.
• Place the ham slices on the bottom half of the sandwich; top with the lightly dressed arugula and the top half of the baguette.
• Slice in half and serve.

Steps:

• Remove ham from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°. Place a rack in a large roasting pan and cover the rack with foil. Pour 2 cups water in the bottom of roasting pan and place ham on the foil on the rack. In a small bowl, stir together jam, brown sugar, bourbon, Dijon, and red pepper flakes. Brush ham with some of the glaze and roast, basting with more glaze every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 140°, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.  Let rest 15 minutes before carving.
