Ham Braised with Maple Raisin Sauce image

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (7- to 8-lb) fully cooked bone-in shank-end ham
6 cups water
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup granulated maple sugar*
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (or 10 cloves stuck into ham)
2 cups raisins (10 oz)

Steps:

  • Put ham cut side down in a large deep heavy pot (about 10 quarts) and add water and syrup.
  • Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to low and gently simmer ham, covered, until tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and cool slightly.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • When ham is cool enough to handle, remove from pot, reserving cooking liquid, then cut off any rind and excess fat, leaving a thin layer. Transfer ham to a roasting pan.
  • Whisk together sugar, mustard, apple juice, and ground cloves, if using, in a bowl, then spoon over ham. Add raisins and 1 cup reserved cooking liquid to roasting pan and bake in middle of oven, basting occasionally, until ham is glazed and juices are bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of ham, but this recipe changed my mind! The ham was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

The ham was very good, but the sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I would probably thin it out with a little water or broth next time.

This ham was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would probably use less maple syrup next time.

The ham was a little dry, but the sauce was very good. I would probably add a little more liquid to the recipe next time.

This ham was a little too salty for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would probably cut the amount of salt in the recipe in half next time.

This ham was a huge hit at our Easter dinner! The maple-raisin sauce was the perfect complement to the salty ham. I will definitely be making this again.
