Time 7h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup apricot jam
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
One 4- to 5-pound spiral-cut ham

Steps:

  • Whisk together the jam, mustard, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to melt the sugar, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and reserve.
  • Add 3/4 cup water to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the ham in the insert on its side, and brush lightly with the glaze. Cover, and cook on low until the ham is hot throughout, 6 to 7 hours. Refrigerate the remaining glaze.
  • When the ham has about 10 minutes left to cook, reheat the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Transfer the ham to a carving platter or serving dish, and brush with enough glaze to make a glossy, sticky coating. Slice, and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

APRICOT-BOURBON GLAZED HAM



Apricot-Bourbon Glazed Ham image

With its sweet, tart, and smoky glaze, this apricot-bourbon glazed ham will be the centerpiece of any sunny spring celebration.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bone-in fully cooked half ham (about 10 pounds), rind removed
1 1/2 cups apricot jam
1 1/2 cups bourbon
1/4 cup lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lower third. Wrap ham in a large piece of parchment-lined foil and place, cut side down, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; bake 1 hour. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring jam and bourbon to a rapid simmer over medium-high. Cook until reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and pepper and cook 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup glaze for serving.
  • Remove ham from oven and increase temperature to 425 degrees. Unwrap ham, carefully flattening parchment-lined foil against baking sheet. With a sharp knife, score fat with long cuts, 1/2 inch apart. Bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove ham from oven and brush all over with some glaze. Bake until ham is deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 145 degrees, 45 to 60 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 15 minutes (wrap tip of bone in foil if it begins to overbrown). Transfer ham to a carving board, tent with foil, and let rest 30 minutes before carving. Serve warm or at room temperature with reserved glaze.

Tips:

  • Select the right ham: Choose a fully cooked ham for this recipe, as it will save you time and effort. Opt for a ham that is between 10 and 12 pounds, which is a good size to feed a crowd.
  • Prepare the ham: Remove the ham from the packaging and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the top of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
  • Make the glaze: Combine apricot preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ginger ale in a bowl. Mix well to combine.
  • Glaze the ham: Brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored lines. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the ham.
  • Bake the ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake it in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the ham is heated through. Baste the ham with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes or so.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Apricot brown sugar ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at your table.
