Smoked Ham with Pomegranate Molasses Black Pepper and Mustard Glaze
- Techniques
Pomegranate molasses is the key to this recipe. It adds a sweet tart flavor that I prefer over the super sweet glazes often found on holiday hams.

Serve the meat with Dijon mustard, cornichons and extra glaze as condiments for a nice rustic presentation.
Corn Husk-Smoked Salmon with Grilled Corn Salsa
- Techniques
