Number Of Ingredients 3

1 brine cured ham, 18 to 20 lbs.
1 cup jalapeno jelly
1 cup orange or apple juice

Steps:

  • 1. Remove ham from refrigerator about 3 1/2 hrs before serving time to let it come to room temperature. If upper surface is covered with a rind, pull it away with your fingers. With a thin sharp knife, slice away the thick layer of fat beneath the rind til only about 1/4 inch remains. Score a diamond pattern about 1/2 inch deep into the upper surface of the ham with the knife. Position a rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 325. Set ham in large shallow baking dish or jelly roll pan. Put it on the oven rack, add 1 cup water to the pan and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, in small pan over low heat, melt jalapeno jelly. pour off water from roasting pan, replace it with orange juice land continue to bake the ham basting every 10 minutes, first with melted jalapeno jelly and then with the accumulated juices from the pan, til it's golden brown and shiny and is fully heated through, about 40 minutes. Let ham rest at least 20 minutes before carving. Serve warm or cool. Serves 12, with leftovers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Look for a fully cooked ham with a bone-in for the best flavor and texture. A spiral-cut ham is also a good option, as it makes it easier to glaze and slice.
  • Prepare the ham: Remove the ham from the packaging and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and caramelize.
  • Make the jelly glaze: Combine your chosen jelly or preserves, brown sugar, and other ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the glaze is thick and bubbly.
  • Glaze the ham: Brush the ham with the jelly glaze. Be sure to get the glaze into all of the nooks and crannies. You can also use a pastry brush to apply the glaze.
  • Bake the ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake it in a preheated oven until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the ham.
  • Let the ham rest: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Jelly-glazed ham is a classic holiday dish that is sure to impress your guests. With its sweet, sticky glaze and tender, juicy meat, it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a special occasion dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
