As fall turns to winter, families and friends come together and EAT! This holiday season, Northern Seitan Company is bringing you the Seiham, a seitan-ham alternative.

For the first recipe with our Seiham, we present Brown Sugar Glazed Seiham. This dinner main protein recipe is vegan, smells amazing, and tastes even better. 

Ingredients

• Northern Seitan Company Seiham, thawed
• 2.5 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp vegan butter
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves (optional)
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice (optional)

Materials

• Roasting Pan
• Food brush or baster
• Pot
• Spatula or Ladle

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine water, brown sugar, vegan butter, apple cider vinegar, and spices in a pot on the stovetop. Heat on medium-low and stir until sugar completely dissolves and mixture begins to bubble (~4-5 minutes)
3. Reduce heat to low. Stir mixture occasionally until slightly reduced (~8-10 minutes)
4. Use food brush or baster to evenly apply mixture to Seiham. 
5. Bake Seiham at 350 degrees for ~60 minutes. Check Seiham around 40 minutes, adding additional glaze if desired. 
6. Your Seiham is done when its internal temperature reaches ~145 degrees - the "safe" cooking temperature of Ham. Remember that all Northern Seitan Company products come ready to eat once thawed, so it is already safe to consume.
