Time 1h25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.
