Posted in response to a request from "The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook" by Diane Phillips. Every year spiral sliced ham advertisements run that make your mouth water. Including shots of a glistening ham with a crackly coating. Your rotisserie can help you to achieve the same crispy coating, and for a lot less than that ham from the store. Basting with a combination of honey and raw sugar during the last 30 minutes of cooking time will give you that delicious, crunchy glaze

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Opt for a fully cooked ham that is labeled "ready to eat" or "pre-cooked." This will save you time and effort in the cooking process.
  • Use a roasting pan or baking dish: Place the ham in a roasting pan or baking dish that is large enough to accommodate it. If you don't have a roasting pan, you can use a large baking sheet lined with foil.
  • Add some liquid: Pour about 1 cup of liquid, such as water, broth, or apple juice, into the bottom of the roasting pan or baking dish. This will help keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze or sauce penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful crust.
  • Glaze or baste the ham: You can glaze or baste the ham with a variety of different sauces or glazes. Some popular options include honey mustard, maple syrup, or pineapple juice. Baste the ham every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the ham to the proper temperature: The USDA recommends cooking ham to an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the ham. Once it reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Rotisserie ham is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for a variety of occasions. Whether you are hosting a holiday dinner or simply looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, rotisserie ham is a great option. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious rotisserie ham that will impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and satisfying dish, give rotisserie ham a try.
