Teena Anderson from Anoka Meats & Sausage shares recipe ideas for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. 

Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham

14-16 pound fully smoked ham on the bone
2 T minced garlic
1 18 oz jar of sweet orange marmalade
½ cup Dijon mustard
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Score ham with a sharp knife making 1” squares on the outside of the ham (skin side only). Place the ham in a heavy roasting pan with a rack after scoring.

Combine the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, orange zest, garlic and orange juice and whisk until smooth.

Pour the glaze over the ham and bake for 1 hour, until the ham is fully heated and the glaze is well browned. You can serve the ham hot or at room temperature.


Irish Champ Potatoes
servings: 6-8

3 pounds small red potatoes, halved
2 cups heavy cream
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1 stick of soft butter
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place potatoes into large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 20 min.

Drain well. Return to very low heat.

Meanwhile mix the cream and green onions and pour over the potatoes.

Mash the potatoes with a mixer, add salt and blend together until smooth. Season with freshly ground black pepper and any left over green onion slices.
