What Fruits Go Best with Ham?

Ham is a favorite pork meal for many people and many of the most enjoyable dishes are ham with fruit dish recipes. Pairing the sweet yet milder tastes of fruits with ham is a natural recipe twist and, depending on the final recipe, a variety of different fruits can be used, including:

  • Pineapples
  • Apples
  • Peaches
  • Oranges
  • Pears
  • Pumpkins

Because of ham’s powerful flavor, it is best to choose fruits that also have strong flavors. Milder fruits such as strawberries or bananas would be easily overwhelmed by the meat and their tastes lost. Furthermore, juicy fruits are an excellent choice to accompany ham, because the juice helps dilute the meat’s saltiness while simultaneously infusing it with flavor, making it a ham with fruit dish recipe you're family will ask for again and again.

Tips for Pairing Ham with Fruit Dish Recipes

When combining fruits with ham, choose firm, succulent fruits that will still be noticeable in the recipe. If the recipe calls for roasting or grilling, it is wise to keep a few pieces of fruit available for a bright, colorful garnish to the finished dish – many cooking methods discolor fruit and make it less visually appealing. If only fruit sauces are used (fruit glazes are particularly tasty with different ham dishes), follow the recipe instructions carefully to avoid any scorching or burning of the glaze, especially if it is applied before the meat has finished cooking.

In Conclusion

Ham with fruit dish recipes are a delicious way to pair the strong flavor of ham to a juicy fruit. By carefully choosing fruit to pair well with the taste of ham, it is possible to create unexpected yet appetizing flavor combinations to please any ham lover.
