MAPLE-GLAZED HAM

I cook this ham for Christmas and for Easter, but my husband thinks that twice a year is not enough. If it were up to him, we'd eat this every day! When I have larger hams, I double the glaze. If any glaze is left, we use it on pancakes the next day. -Jeanie Beasley, Tupelo, Mississippi

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h55m

Yield 18 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 20-pound bone-in fully cooked ham
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the ham in a roasting dish with 1 cup water in the bottom of the dish. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Check the ham after 45 minutes and add more water if necessary or tent with aluminum foil if it is getting past a dark golden brown.)
  • Meanwhile, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and cayenne in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • If you used it, remove the foil from the ham and slather the ham with the glaze. Return the ham to the oven uncovered. Continue to roast, brushing the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature is between 140 and 150 degrees F, another 1 hour and 30 minutes. (If the ham starts to become too dark on the outside, tent it with aluminum foil. We are looking for a dark, sticky, flavorful glaze on the outside of the ham. Use all the glaze! Really slather it on!)
  • Remove the ham from the oven, remove the foil, brush with any remaining glaze and cook, uncovered for another 5 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bone-in smoked spiral-sliced ham ((8-11 pounds))
Aluminum foil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1/2 cup pure maple syrup (NOT imitation)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp EACH ground nutmeg, ground cloves, dried thyme, pepper, chili pwder

Steps:

  • Remove ham from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature 2-3 hours.
  • Whisk together all of the Apple Cider Maple Glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened and reduced, approximately 15-20 minutes. Stir in butter until melted. Glaze will thicken more as it stands.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Pour 2 cups water into bottom of roasting pan IF you have a roasting rack. Place roasting rack inside pan. (Skip step if you don't have a roasting rack.)
  • Roll out 2 large pieces of foil to wrap your ham in. Place ham on foil and brush all over with some of the Glaze, including in between slices. Tightly wrap ham with foil and place on its side on the roasting rack (or bottom of pan). Bake ham until the center registers 100-110 degrees F, about 2 hours (about 12 minutes per pound).
  • Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
  • Carefully unfold foil to expose ham and brush ham all over with Glaze (if Glaze has become to thick to brush, return to heat to loosen). Leave ham exposed and bake for 20-30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and caramelized.
  • Remove ham from oven and brush again all over with Glaze. Spoon juices from bottom of pan all over ham. Loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes then spoon more juices over ham and serve with any remaining Glaze.

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 ready-to-eat ham of your choice, whole or half, bone-in or boneless
1 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut away any skin and trim the fat to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2-inch. Place the ham, fat side up, in a shallow roasting pan lined with foil (since the sugar in the glaze can burn). As a rough guide, roast a fully cooked ham for about 10 minute per pound. A whole ham should cook in 2 1/2 to 3 hours, a half ham in 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check the temperature after the minimum time with an instant-read meat thermometer. It should read 130 to 140 degrees. If not yet at the desired temperature, check it every 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the ham as is after a 20 to 30 minute rest or proceed to glaze it.
  • To glaze: when the ham is warmed through, raise oven temperature to 425 degrees. Remove the ham from the oven and score the surface of the fat to make a crisscross grid. Spread glaze generously over the surface of the ham. Bake about 20 minutes, basting with pan juices a few times. Remove the ham from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving Serve with Vanilla Maple Sauce

  • Use a flavorful glaze: Combine ingredients like maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and spices to create a glaze that will caramelize and add a delicious crust to the ham.
