Baked Ham with Tangerine Glaze and Roasted CarrotsSince ham is already cooked by smoking it is most often eaten cold, however heated through and brushed with a fruity glaze it makes a great centerpiece for celebration meals. In order to heat the ham through it usually needs a fair bit of time in a slow oven and to avoid drying out the meat it is covered until the final stage when the glaze is added. However, if you bake your unsliced ham in Convection you will not need to cover the ham and the heating through time will take approximately 1 ½ - 2 hours, depending on the weight of the ham. If you are heating a sliced ham then it must remain covered in foil to avoid drying out. IngredientsPreparation1 - smoked ham, bone-in, skin on 7 - 9 lbs 1 - bunch fresh sage leaves ¾ - cup olive oil 1 - cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks 2 - cups tangerine juice 2 - tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed 2 - cups, packed light brown sugar 1 - cup water ½ - teaspoon whole cloves 2 - cinnamon sticks 1 ½ - lbs baby carrots Preheat the oven in the Convection Mode 300 degrees. Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Score the ham with cuts in a diamond pattern about 2 inches apart and ½ deep. Season generously with salt and pepper. Chop 8 of the sage leaves and mix with the olive oil to make a paste, rub all of the ham getting into the slits. Bake for 2 hours. Glaze: Combine the butter, tangerine juice, tangerines, brown sugar, water and spices in a heavy medium saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, 30 - 40 minutes. Brush the glaze over the ham when it has completed its initial heating phase. Add the baby carrots and another 8 chopped sage leaves and continue baking for another 40 - 50 minutes until the carrots are tender and the internal temperature of the ham is 150 degrees.

It's speedy and it's easy.
Is it better to bake chicken on convection?Set your oven for convection baking, if you have it. The chicken will cook more evenly and the skin will brown up and become perfectly crispy. Roasting a chicken on a rack allows the heat to circulate around the chicken to help with browning the skin and more even cooking.
Is it better to bake chicken thighs at 350 or 400?The higher the temperature when baking chicken thighs creates that golden brown outer skin that protects the dark meat from over cooking and tenderizes the inside making it even more flavorful and tender. I like to bake chicken thighs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes long.
How long do I bake chicken at 400?You should bake chicken breasts in a 400 F oven for 20 to 30 minutes. This baking time is for boneless and skinless chicken breasts of approximately one-inch thickness.
