Mango Mustard Glazed Spiral Ham 

A Bit About Mangos

Mangos are one of the most popular fruits in the world and are a staple in the diets of many cultures. Mangos are available year round, so you can always get your hands on a perfect mango. While this tropical fruit tends to remind us of Summer, using it throughout the year can introduce a little sweet, fruity taste any time.

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 at room temperature over a few days.

Storing your Mangos: Keep unripe mangos at room temperature. Never refrigerate mangos before they are ripe. Once ripe however, they can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process for a few days.

Mangos pack a nutritional punch, too. At just 100 calories per cup and providing 100% of your daily vitamin C needs, they are always great choice. They are also a good source of dietary fibre. Adding mango to your diet may help maintain and regulate gut health and healthy gut bacteria levels. All that and they are delicious, too :) 

Cook’s Notes for Mango Mustard Glazed Spiral Ham

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.
