Categories     Main

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 4½ lb boneless fully cooked ham, at room temperature 1 hour prior to baking
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Score fat on top of the ham in a crosshatch pattern.
  • Put ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  • Cover ham with parchment paper, then cover the roasting pan with foil tightly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes per pound, or per your ham's instructions.
  • Melt the butter with fresh thyme then set aside to allow flavors to mingle.
  • Meanwhile, boil the cider vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to 1 tablespoon.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme butter.
  • Let honey glaze stand until ham has baked.
  • Discard foil and parchment paper from ham.
  • If there is no liquid in the roasting pan, add 1 cup water (liquid will prevent glaze from burning in the pan and will become a delicious pan sauce).
  • Brush ham with half of the honey glaze, then bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  • Brush with remaining glaze and bake until glaze is deep golden-brown and ham is heated through, about 30 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and place the ham on a cutting board. Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes prior to carving.
  • Pour the liquid from the roasting pan into a bowl. Serve on the side to spoon over slices of ham, if desired. Enjoy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 8-pound fully cooked bone-in half ham (shank or butt)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup honey
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons hot sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Bring the ham to room temperature 1 hour before baking.

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-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 flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.

  • Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.

TANGY HONEY GLAZED HAM



Tangy Honey Glazed Ham image

I came up with the glaze for this ham using ingredients on hand and it's the best I've ever tasted. If you have any glaze left over, you can add it to the pan drippings with a little flour or cornstarch and make a nice sauce to accompany the meat. Use the bone and ham trimmings to make soup afterwards.

HONEY GLAZED HAM



Honey Glazed Ham image

This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time. You can even buy the ham presliced to make it easier and more like the original. It is very good. (I do this while preparing the rest of the meal in the kitchen so that I don't forget to baste!)

¼ cup whole cloves
¼ cup dark corn syrup
2 cups honey
⅔ cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in foil lined pan.
  • In the top half of a double boiler, heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
  • Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.
