Ingredients
6 slices Schneiders Classic Cut Bacon, chopped
1 onion, diced
3 rib celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp minced fresh sage
½ cup dry white wine
4 cups cooked wild rice, or wild and brown rice blend
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup dried cranberries
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tbsp chopped fresh chives or green onions
¼ tsp each salt and pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tbsp cold butter, diced
1 700 g Schneider’s Original Applewood Smoked Ham
¼ cup honey
2 tbsp each Dijon and grainy mustard
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp cayenne pepper 1/8 tsp ground cloves
Directions
In deep skillet or Dutch oven, cook bacon, onions and celery over medium-high heat until browned, 6 to 9 minutes. Add garlic and sage; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add white wine; bring to boil and cook until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in wild rice, broth, cranberries, egg, chives, salt and pepper; sprinkle with almonds and dot with butter. Cover with foil. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.)
Preheat oven to 350°F. With a sharp knife, lightly score the ham about 1/8-inch deep. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon and grainy mustard, vinegar, ginger, cayenne and cloves. Brush half of the glaze over ham. Place the ham in a baking dish with ¼-inch of water in the bottom. Cover with foil; bake ham and stuffing for 20 minutes.
Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Remove foil from ham and stuffing. Brush remaining glaze over ham and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until ham and stuffing are heated through.
Let ham stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the stuffing.
Tips (not mandatory): Round out the meal with some sauteed garlicky kale and mashed potatoes.
