This spicy-sweet glaze is brushed on during baking to give the ham a golden brown appearance and to compliment the meat. The drippings are used to make a sauce to serve along side the ham slices. Use the glaze partway through cooking to prevent the sugars in the glaze from scorching.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 lbs ham, bone in
1/4 cup whole cloves, for studding
2 cups apple cider
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup dark rum
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Using a large knife, cut off the skin and all but 1/4 inch of the fat from the ham, leaving the surface as smooth as possible.
  • Score the top and sides of the ham diagonally in two opposite directions about 1 1/2 inches apart, creating a diamond pattern.
  • Stick a clove into the corners of each diamond.
  • Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Add the apple cider and 2 cups water to the pan; bake for 2 hours, adding more water after an hour if needed.
  • While ham bakes, combine the brown sugar, rum, salt and cayenne pepper to taste in a bowl; stir until smooth; let stand for 10 minutes to allow sugar to dissolve partially.
  • Remove ham from the oven and brush the glaze evenly over the ham; reserve the leftover glaze.
  • Return the ham to the oven and bake for 1 hour longer, brushing with the glaze every 15 minutes.
  • Transfer ham to a large platter and cover loosely with foil; allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While ham rests, pour the liquid from the roasting pan into a fat separator or a large glass measuring pitcher; let the fat rise to the surface, then pour or spoon off as much fat as possible; float a piece of paper towel on the surface to absorb the remaining fat.
  • Pour the degreased liquid into a small saucepan and add the remaining glaze to make a sauce; rewarm and pour in a sauceboat.
  • Serve ham warm with the sauce.

1 10-pound bone-in smoked ham (with water added)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup clover honey

A gorgeous, juicy ham is the centerpiece of many holiday tables, and we think that this simple (and simply stunning, when you taste it) recipe should be the next one you try. It starts with a pre-cooked ham (which you can learn more about in our handy article that covers all the details of how to cook a ham) and from there, an easy glaze does the work of adding flavor and a glossy appearance. Sweet-on-sweet glazes were more popular in the past, but this updated-yet-accessible version strikes an ideal balance between sweet and acidic, the perfect complements to naturally salty ham.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ham: Select a bone-in ham for a more flavorful result. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-cut for easy slicing.
  • Enhance the Glaze: Feel free to adjust the glaze ingredients to suit your taste. Add more brown sugar for a sweeter glaze, more rum for a stronger flavor, or more cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
  • Glaze Timing: Apply the glaze during the last 30 minutes of baking to prevent burning. Baste the ham with the glaze every 10-15 minutes to ensure an even coating and caramelized crust.
  • Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature of the ham. It should reach 140°F (60°C) for a fully cooked ham.
  • Resting Period: Allow the ham to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a tender and juicy ham.

Conclusion:

This baked ham with brown sugar, rum, and cayenne glaze is a delightful dish that combines sweet, savory, and spicy flavors.
