Time 1h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (5 lb) fully cooked shank-half ham
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Trim all fat from ham. Place ham on rack in roasting pan and bake 30 minutes.
Dissolve espresso in hot water in 2-cup measure. Add remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Baste ham with coffee mixture and continue to bake for 45 minutes, basting every 10-15 minutes.
Let stand 5-10 minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve.

Tips:

To ensure the ham is cooked evenly, preheat the oven to the correct temperature before placing the ham inside.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham. The ham is done when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) for a medium-rare ham, 145°F (63°C) for a medium ham, or 150°F (66°C) for a well-done ham.
For a more flavorful ham, score the surface of the ham before baking. This will allow the glaze to penetrate the ham more deeply.
Baste the ham with the coffee glaze every 20-30 minutes during the baking process. This will help to keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.

Conclusion:

Coffee-glazed ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The coffee glaze gives the ham a unique and flavorful crust, while the ham itself is moist and tender. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it's a great way to use up any leftover ham.
