Glazed Ham With Dried Cherry Caramelized Onions
Perfect for a late lunch or dinner. This cooked, boneless ham is glazed with a mixture of honey, mustard and cider vinegar. 
Ingredients 
    - 3-pound, fully cooked, boneless smoked ham
 
  - 2 tablespoons honey
 
    - 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
 
    - 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
 
    - 5 medium onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 5 cups)
 
    - 3 tablespoons butter
 
    - 1/2 cup dried tart cherries
 
    - 1/3 cup cider vinegar
 
    - 2 tablespoons honey
 
    - 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamon
 
    - 1/4 cup almonds, sliced or slivered, and toasted
 
 
Preparation 
  - Heat oven to 325°F. Place ham on rack in shallow baking pan. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 140°F (about 15 to 18 minutes per pound).
 
  - For glaze, in a small bowl combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon mustard. Brush ham with glaze during the last 5 minutes of baking.
 
    - To caramelize onions, cook onions in a covered Dutch oven in hot butter over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until onions are just tender, stirring occasionally.
 
    - Stir in 1/2 cup dried cherries, 1/3 cup cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon cardamom. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir in toasted almonds.
 
    - Slice ham; serve with onion mixture.
