Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place beef bones on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until bones are browned and charred in spots, about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  4. 4 Transfer bones to an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add carrots, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves; pour in enough water to cover. Select Sauté function and bring to a boil, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
  5. 5 Skim the top of liquid to remove any foamy bits and impurities; discard. Add peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cloves. Cancel Sauté function.
  6. 6 Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions and seal the steam release handle; set the timer for 2 hours. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.
  7. 7 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 1 to 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  8. 8 Place a large fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large pot or 8-cup liquid measure. Remove and discard bones from broth, then pour into the prepared strainer. Press on solids until all liquid has drained. Discard solids; skim off any fat from surface, if needed, and stir salt into broth.
  9. 9 Divide among glasses and serve hot or let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  2. 2 Add butternut squash, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until squash start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  4. 4 Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  5. 5 Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
  6. 6 Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  7. 7 Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. 2 Use a sharp knife to score the ham 1/4 inch deep in a diamond pattern. Place in a good sized roaster with the fat side up, and stud in a decorative manner with the whole cloves...be sure to use plenty. Pack the top of the ham with the whole pound of brown sugar to coat the surface as thickly as possible. Some may fall off into the pan, but that can not be helped. Leave it there to sweeten the basting juices needed in later steps.
  3. 3 Roast, uncovered, until the sugar begins to melt, about 20 minutes. During this time, mix together the pineapple juice and sangria. When the sugar has begun to melt, pour one cup of the wine mixture over the ham, and return the ham to the oven for 40 minutes. I often tent the ham with foil at some point, but my mother never did.
  4. 4 After one hour in the oven, baste the ham with a second cup of the wine mixture, stirring it into the pan drippings. Return the ham to the oven for 2 more hours, basting after the first hour with the remaining wine mixture.
  5. 5 Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and baste the ham every 20 minutes with the pan drippings for the final hour of cooking. A meat thermometer should read 160 degrees F (65 degrees C) before serving.
