How to cook Maple Glazed Vegan Ham

Start with making the glaze. Mix together 4 tbsp maple syrup, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp tomato paste, 6 drops liquid smoke,1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 cup apricot jam. The flavor may be strong, so adjust to taste and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (the first 7 ingredients). In another bowl, stir together all the wet ingredients until combined.
Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Use either a stand mixer with a dough hook or knead it by hand. If using a stand mixer, allow it to knead with the dough hook for 6 minutes on medium speed. If by hand, knead for 10 minutes until the dough is super dense and almost rubbery.
Roll the dough into a ball and placed it on a square of plastic wrap. Enclose the ham and pull the plastic tight until it forms a smooth roast shape. Remove plastic and brush it with 1 tbsp of the marinade and wrap it tightly in aluminum foil. (The dough will try to expand during baking, so wrap it tight to constrict expansion for a denser final texture.)
Bake for 50 minutes at 350°, turning every 15 minutes to ensure even baking. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. (You can store the ham in the refrigerator for up to 5 days at this stage, before glazing.)
Once completely cool, score the vegan ham with a diamond pattern using a sharp knife and insert a clove into the center of each diamond. Place the roast on a baking pan and surround with sliced pineapples and oranges if preferred. Brush with glaze.
Bake 15 minutes at 375° F, brushing with glaze as often as possible until fully heated. For a browned exterior, place under the broiler on high for 4-5 minutes. Extra glaze can be served with ham slices.

Hi there, currently I am attending Quantum University for Natural Medicine and Holistic Health. Growing up with some family members in the medical field while having others with issues that ranged from chronic illnesses to cancer to mental disease provided many dots to connect. Observing the connections and processes over the years has been a continuous drive for my passion of alternative healing. I have a deep-rooted interest in what I refer to as the three P's; Psychology, Philosophy, and Physics, and the revisions made by the field of quantum mechanics. I currently reside in Wyoming, to study and focus on the connection between how nature, simplistic lifestyle, and a healthy diet all contribute to optimal wellness. Mindfulness is key to a healthier self, inside and out, and each day is a new opportunity to embrace our best self and offer that to the world.
