BONE-IN HAM COOKED IN BEER



Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer image

This is a recipe we have used for the past 5 years. The beer really tenderizes the ham. Using beer is probably a Wisconsin thing. We seem to find many uses for it. But don't worry, the ham will not taste like beer when it is done other than maybe a small hint on the bottom portions. I don't like beer at all, so I was quite skeptical at first, but when I found out that the ham I had at my friend's house for Christmas the year before had beer used to make it, I tried it and have been hooked ever since.

ROOT BEER HAM



Root Beer Ham image

Despite its regal countenance, a glazed holiday ham is surprisingly easy to cook - though "cook" is misleading here, as most supermarket hams already come fully cooked and just need to be heated through in the oven. Here, a bone-in half ham (try not to get the spiral-sliced kind, which can dry out easily) gently bakes in an aromatic pool of shallots, bay leaves and root beer, a variation on the Southern classic made with cola. The root beer braising liquid is reduced with brown sugar and Dijon into a sticky glaze that lacquers the scored ham with caramelized luster. Save the braising liquid and serve alongside to spoon onto slices for even more flavor and juiciness.

Categories     meat, main course

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bone-in, fully cooked unsliced half ham (8 to 12 pounds)
2 (12-ounce) cans root beer
2 large shallots, halved lengthwise
2 large dried or fresh bay leaves
1/4 packed cup dark brown sugar
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Using a sharp knife, make parallel cuts across the surface of the ham, about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart, then repeat in the opposite direction to create a diamond pattern.
  • Place the ham in a deep, large roasting pan, cut side down, and pour the root beer over the ham. Add the shallots and bay leaves to the root beer in the roasting pan. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake, basting once halfway through, until the ham is heated through (it's already cooked). The internal temperature should reach 135 degrees, about 15 minutes per pound (2 to 3 hours total).
  • When the ham is done heating through, carefully remove from the oven and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Uncover the ham and ladle out 2 cups of the root beer braising liquid into a large skillet.
  • To make the glaze, add the brown sugar, mustard and rice vinegar to the root beer in the skillet and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally and watching that it doesn't boil over. Cook until reduced significantly, syrupy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and drip off slowly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Using a spoon or a brush, apply half of the glaze all over the surface of the ham. Bake, uncovered, until the glaze is bronzed, bubbling and gorgeous (but not burned), 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing thinly and serving with the extra glaze. Carefully pour the braising liquid into a gravy boat and serve alongside, as well.

GINGER BEER & TANGERINE GLAZED HAM



Ginger beer & tangerine glazed ham image

This warming ginger beer-spiced ham is great for Christmas entertaining as it's simple to prepare ahead of time

Provided by Maria Elia

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 4h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3kg mild-cure gammon
1 onion , halved
3 tangerines , zest removed with a vegetable peeler
4 star anise
2l ginger beer
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
small handful cloves

Steps:

  • Put the gammon, onion, tangerine zest and star anise in a large pan. Pour over all but 100ml of the ginger beer and, if necessary, top up with water so the gammon is just covered. Bring to the boil, skim the surface to remove any fat, reduce to a simmer, then cover and cook for 3-3½ hrs or until the meat is tender. When the gammon is cooked, remove it from the pan. Reserve the cooking liquor and use to cook lentils (see 'Goes well with'). Cool, cover and chill at this stage if you want to prepare ahead - bring back to room temp before continuing.
  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Carefully cut the skin off the gammon, making sure to leave a layer of fat, then lightly score the fat into diamond shapes. Place in a roasting tin lined with foil. Warm the honey, mustard and reserved 100ml ginger beer in a pan and boil until it thickens. Spoon over the fat, then stud a clove into the middle of each diamond. Bake for 20-25 mins or until the glaze has caramelised. If you did prepare ahead, add another 10 mins to the cooking time. Slice and eat warm or cold.

Tips for Making the Best Beer-Boiled Ham:

  • Choose a high-quality ham. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-cut. This will make it easier to cook and serve.
  • Use a flavorful beer. The type of beer you use will impact the flavor of the ham, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A dark beer will give the ham a richer flavor, while a light beer will produce a milder flavor.
  • Add aromatics to the pot. Along with the beer, you can add other ingredients to the pot to infuse the ham with flavor. Common additions include onions, garlic, celery, and carrots.
  • Simmer the ham gently. Bring the beer and aromatics to a simmer, then add the ham. Simmer the ham for about 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Glaze the ham. After the ham is cooked, you can glaze it with a mixture of honey, brown sugar, and spices. This will give the ham a shiny, caramelized crust.

Conclusion:

Beer-boiled ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a ham that is moist, flavorful, and sure to impress your guests.
