Dress up your holiday ham: We created six great flavor combinations.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 5h15m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 10- to 12-pound fully cooked bone-in half ham, shank or butt portion
Glaze ingredients (see recipes within instructions)

Steps:

  • Let the ham sit at room temperature, 1 hour.
  • Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/2-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham, fat-side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  • Pour 2 cups water into the pan; tent the pan with foil. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the ham registers 110 degrees F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours, adding another 1 cup water to the pan if the liquid evaporates. Remove from the oven and uncover.
  • While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze (see recipes, below).
  • Whisk 1/4 cup of the pan juices into the glaze. Brush the ham with about half of the glaze. Return to the oven and continue baking, brushing with the glaze twice more, until the glaze is caramelized and the thermometer registers 140 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 more hours.
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board or platter; let rest 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the remaining pan juices into a saucepan and boil until slightly syrupy. Spoon the reduced pan juices over the ham. Serve with any remaining glaze.
  • Glaze Recipes
  • Mustard-Orange(pictured)
  • Before baking, arrange halved orange slices all over the ham, securing with cloves. For the glaze, whisk 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup dijon mustard and the juice of 2 oranges.
  • Pineapple-Rum
  • Before baking, arrange thinly sliced pineapple all over the ham, securing with cloves. For the glaze, simmer 2 cups pineapple juice over medium heat until syrupy, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup pineapple preserves, 1/4 cup dark rum, 1 teaspoon mustard powder and 1/2 teaspoon each ground cloves, allspice and coriander.
  • Pomegranate-Jalapeno
  • For the glaze, simmer 2 cups pomegranate juice over medium heat until syrupy, 7 to 8 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 cup spicy mustard, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon chili powder and 1 tablespoon jalapeno hot sauce. Brush on the ham as directed, sprinkling with 2 teaspoons chili powder before returning to the oven. Add 1 cup pomegranate seeds and 1 diced jalapeno to the reduced pan juices.
  • Cranberry-Maple
  • For the glaze, boil 2 cups cranberries, 1 cup cranberry juice and 3/4 cup pure maple syrup with 4 thyme sprigs and 1 cinnamon stick over medium heat until syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon chopped thyme.
  • Ginger-Juniper
  • Before baking, add 2 teaspoons juniper berries and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns to the water in the roasting pan. For the glaze, simmer 1 cup ginger preserves, 1/2 cup dry vermouth and 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar over medium heat until syrupy, 4 to 5 minutes. Brush onto the ham as directed, sprinkling with 2 teaspoons crushed juniper berries and 1 teaspoon crushed peppercorns before returning to the oven.
  • Rosemary-Honey Mustard
  • Before baking, add 4 rosemary sprigs to the water in the roasting pan. For the glaze, boil 1/2 cup each whole-grain mustard, honey and dry white wine over medium heat until syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 117.3 calories, Carbohydrate 30.7 g, Protein 0.1 g, Sodium 5.8 mg, Sugar 30.3 g

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ham: Opt for a fully cooked ham for convenience and ease of glazing. Ensure it's the size that fits your serving needs.
  • Prepare Your Ham: Remove the ham from the packaging and place it in a roasting pan. If there's a plastic or metal stud in the center, remove it using pliers.
  • Score the Ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a crisscross pattern. This helps the glaze penetrate and caramelize during baking.
  • Brown Sugar Glaze: Combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and pineapple juice. Brush this glaze over the ham, ensuring it coats the entire surface.
  • Honey Mustard Glaze: Mix honey, mustard, and orange marmalade. Brush this glaze over the ham, making sure to cover all sides.
  • Crockpot Ham Glaze: In a slow cooker, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, cloves, and cinnamon. Place the ham in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over it. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Baking Instructions: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Cover the ham with foil and bake for 20 minutes per pound. Remove the foil and brush with additional glaze every 15 minutes until heated through.
  • Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the ham with pineapple slices, cherries, or parsley. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Glazing a ham is an excellent way to elevate its flavor and create a centerpiece for your meal. With various glaze options available, from classic brown sugar to tangy honey mustard or a slow-cooked crockpot version, you can find the perfect glaze to suit your taste. Remember to choose a fully cooked ham, prepare it properly, and apply the glaze generously. Follow the baking instructions carefully and garnish your ham before serving for an impressive presentation. Whether you're hosting a holiday dinner or a casual gathering, a glazed ham is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
