Apricot Mustard Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil; place roasting rack in pan.
• With a sharp knife, trim fat, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Lightly score fat in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Place ham, fat side up, on rack; roast 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine jam and mustard (they can be mixed and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead). Transfer 1/2 cup mixture to a small bowl to glaze ham. Set aside saucepan with remaining mixture.
• After 1 hour, brush ham with glaze. Repeat every 15 minutes until brown and shiny, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part, avoiding bone, registers 130 degrees, about 1 hour more (if glaze starts to burn, tent ham with buttered foil). Discard unused glaze. Remove ham from oven; cover loosely with buttered foil to keep warm. Temperature will then rise another 5 to 10 degrees.
• Bring jam mixture in saucepan to a boil. Carve ham, reserving bone and 2 cups of meat for Split Pea Soup. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the apricot jam, mustard, vinegar and lots of black pepper in the jam jar or a mason jar. Shake until well blended.
• Use the glaze like you would a BBQ sauce. Brush on or pour over pieces of grilled or pan-seared chicken, pork chop or salmon just before it's done cooking and let cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit with a wire rack. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• Place flour in a large bowl and season very generously with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in another large bowl with 2 tablespoons water until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in a third large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Stir in cheese and cayenne and mix well.
• Place chicken pieces in the seasoned flour and toss to coat. Working in 3 batches, shake off any excess flour from chicken pieces and transfer to egg mixture; stir to combine. Transfer coated chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until completely coated. Place the breaded chicken pieces on a rack-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Repeat process until all the chicken is breaded. Bake until golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir the apricot jam, mustard, and thyme together until combined. Allow chicken to cool 10 minutes before serving with apricot mustard mixture.

Steps:

• Mix apricots, mustard seeds, ground mustard, and 3/4 cup water in a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Put mixture in a food processor. Add vinegar and salt; puree.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together sour cream, Dijon and whole-grain mustards, and jam until blended. Serve with Sauteed Pork Chops, grilled chicken, or turkey cutlets. Refrigerate, covered, up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a bowl, stir together all the ingredients.
• Cover & chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Can be used to baste four 8-ounce portions of salmon OR as a sauce, once the salmon has been baked. Also works as a sweet & spicy dip for other seafood.

Steps:

• Place apricot preserves and Dijon-style mustard in work bowl of Cuisinart Mini-Prep Chopper and process on Chop until smooth and homogeneous.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients into the bowl of a blender & process 30 seconds or until there is a good consistency to the sauce.
• Pour into a covered glass jar & store in the refrigerator.
