AMAZING GLAZED HAM

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 7- to 9-pound fully cooked spiral-cut ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup grainy brown mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 medium oranges, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Let the ham sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. This will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Make the glaze: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, orange zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place a rack in a roasting pan. Put the ham on the rack large open-face down (so the spiral cuts are stacked on top of one another). Brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, getting it between the slices as much as you can.
  • Pour about an inch of water in the base of the roasting pan; the water should not touch the ham. Tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes per pound (1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes).
  • Take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush half of the remaining glaze on the ham. When the oven is up to temperature, return the ham, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the ham to a platter. Serve right away, or cover with foil and take it to your gathering!

Categories     Ham

Time 1m

Yield 1/2 Ham, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 (16 ounce) cans sweet potatoes
1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons prepared mustard

Steps:

  • Drain syrup from sweet potatoes and set potatoes aside for any other purpose. You only need the syrup for this recipe.
  • Combine all ingredients with a wisk and apply to ham or do like I do and use as a dipping sauce. Works great for pork chops, breakfast sausage and Swedish meatballs too!

Nutrition Facts : Calories 164.9, Fat 0.2, Sodium 125.7, Carbohydrate 40.1, Fiber 2.9, Sugar 25.1, Protein 1.7

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the ham. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C) for a fully cooked ham and 145°F (63°C) for a spiral-cut ham.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the ham. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful crust.
  • Baste the ham frequently with the glaze. This will help keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the ham rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and succulent ham.

Conclusion:

Choosing the right glaze for your ham is an important part of creating a delicious and memorable meal. Whether you prefer a sweet, savory, or spicy glaze, there are many options to choose from. With a little planning and effort, you can create a glaze that will perfectly complement your ham and make your next holiday dinner a hit.
