Classic Pineapple-Apricot Glazed Ham image

A gorgeous glazed ham calls for a celebration, but it can be a bit daunting to make one. It doesn't have to be that way.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h55m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 9- to 10-pound bone-in fully-smoked ham (butt or shank half)
2 tablespoons whole cloves
Zest and juice of 2 limes
8 thin slices fresh ginger
2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
1 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • For the ham: Remove the ham from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Insert the cloves into the ham, placing them at the intersections of the cuts (you may have some cloves left over).
  • Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours and 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound).
  • Meanwhile make the glaze: Squeeze the lime juice into a small saucepan. Add the ginger and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then stir in the lime zest, apricot preserves and Dijon.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Pour half the pineapple glaze over the ham and brush to coat. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add more. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until glossy and well browned, about 45 minutes more.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. Carve the ham into slices and serve.

BAKED HAM WITH GINGER-APRICOT GLAZE



Baked Ham with Ginger-Apricot Glaze image

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 5-pound fully cooked ham
3/4 cup no sugar added apricot fruit spread
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon dry mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Make crosshatch slashes across the top of the ham with the tip of a knife. Place in a roasting pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Put the fruit spread into a small bowl. Stir in the ginger, Dijon mustard, and dry mustard. Spoon the glaze over the ham and bake until heated through, 20 to 30 minutes more. Remove to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil, and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • To ensure the glaze adheres to the meat, pat the ham dry before applying the apricot ginger glaze.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the ham's surface so that the glaze can penetrate deeper into the meat.
  • Baste the ham frequently with the glaze during the baking process to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • If you prefer a more caramelized glaze, increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes.
  • Garnish the ham with fresh herbs or fruit slices before serving to enhance its presentation.

Conclusion:

Apricot ginger ham is a delightful culinary creation that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of apricots with the warming spiciness of ginger to create a glaze that perfectly complements the savory, smoky taste of ham.
