This mango glazed ham would be a wonderful addition to your Easter table! With a quick, easy and delicious mango and mustard glaze, it’s a perfect way to brighten up your Easter meal.
Ham and fruit is a classic combination. The fresh, sweet fruit flavours pair beautifully with the salty and smokey ham. So it should be no surprise that mangoes also go perfectly with ham. This quick and easy mango and mustard glaze is just the thing to brighten up your Easter ham!
Selecting a mango
Don’t judge a mango by it’s colour! Red does not mean ripe. To find a ripe mango, just squeeze gently. A ripe mango will be slightly soft, like a peach or avocado. That said, if you have a firm mango, it will ripen when stored at room temperature over a few days.
Recipe tips!
- You will have left-over mango glaze most probably, but don’t throw it out! It would make a great salad dressing. Simply whisk it up with some olive or vegetable oil and drizzle over a salad, for a delicious, fruity salad dressing.
- Speaking of salad, if you want to really run with the flavours of this ham, make a salad to go with it. Simply toss together some lovely fresh, curly kale, with cherry tomato halves, sliced red onion and of course, some fresh mango slices or cubes. Drizzle with salad dressing whipped up from your left-over glaze.
