Honey Mustard Chipotle Sauce for Ham

Background: Over the years we’ve tried lots of different techniques for saucing or glazing a baked ham, and finally developed a sauce with nice depth of flavor and consistency. We don’t use it on the exterior of the ham, but as a sauce when it’s been plated or on sandwiches.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp grapeseed oil
1 shallot chopped
2 tbsp white wine
½ cup homemade vegetable stock
2 tsp homemade mustard
1 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp apple juice
2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Heat grapeseed oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add shallots and cook until softened, 1-2 min.
3. Pour in wine and cook off alcohol for 2 min.
4. Add stock, mustard, chipotle peppers, brown sugar, honey, and apple juice.  Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to thicken.
5. Add butter and cook for 4 – 5 more minutes.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
