Time 2h5m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 7- to 8-pound bone-in spiral cut ham
1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground cloves
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the ham on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with the fat-side up. Use a small knife to lightly score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Bake the ham for 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the marmalade, bourbon, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is thick and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Brush the ham with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Roast, glazing the ham every 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (The ham will get very brown, but if the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of foil greased with cooking spray. Let rest, tented with a piece of greased foil, for about 10 minutes before carving.

Orange Pineapple Glazed Ham image

When you're looking for a holiday ham or family celebration ham recipe, look no further than this one! This orange pineapple ham is so juicy and moist thanks to a dry spice rub made with brown sugar and citrus and then the most delectable orange pineapple glaze! It caramelizes to sweet perfection making this ham a family favorite that pairs well with any side dish!

Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Pork

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Zest from 1 orange
1/4 cup crushed pineapple with juice
5 to 6 pound bone-in previously cooked spiral ham
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
Juice from 1 orange, about 1/2 cup
3/4 cup crushed pineapple with juice
1/3 cup bourbon* or pineapple juice (See Notes)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and set out a large roasting pan.
  • To a small bowl, add the brown sugar, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, orange zest, and stir to combine.
  • Rub this all over the ham.
  • Tightly wrap the ham in heavy duty nonstick foil and place it in the roasting pan. Bake for 30 minutes covered. While the ham bakes, make the glaze.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan on the stove. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a low and allow the mixture to simmer on low for about 15 minutes, or until glaze has reduced in volume and thickened some; set aside off the heat.
  • After the ham has been baking 30 minutes, remove it from the oven, carefully peel back the foil, evenly sprinkle the 1/4 cup crushed pineapple and juice associated, reseal the foil, return it to the oven, and bake it covered for 10 minutes. When done, the internal temp should be at 140F. Tips - Don't overbake so your ham doesn't dry out. Also remember that the internal temp will continue to rise even out of the oven, so I feel safe pulling mine out at about 135F.
  • After this second baking of 10 minutes, remove it from the oven and turn the broiler to 500F.
  • Peel back the foil, and carefully drizzle the orange pineapple glaze all over the ham.
  • Place it uncovered under the broiler for just 3 to 4 minutes. Tip - Don't leave the kitchen and keep a very watchful eye on it so it doesn't burn! You want the glaze to caramelize but it can burn easily, in just one minute, and will taste terrible so be extremely careful and vigilant!
  • Allow ham to rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Extra ham will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months.

GLAZED HOLIDAY HAM



Glazed Holiday Ham image

This is the ham that led directly to whatever childhood memory caused someone to combine ham and pineapple on a pizza. The sweet, slightly fiery and herbaceous crust on this salty haunch practically calls out for a garnish of caramelized pineapple, if not a spray of maraschino cherries. Others may reverse course and apply mustard. Either way, it is good to serve with a nutty wild rice or potatoes au grain, something with backbone.

Categories     easy, main course

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 7-to-8-pound bone-in ham
Whole cloves
1½ teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Score the ham diagonally left to right, then right to left, to create a diamond pattern across the meat. Stud each diamond with a whole clove.
  • Add a cup or two of water to the bottom of the pan, then bake the ham, uncovered, 25 minutes to the pound if it is ready-to-cook, about half that if it is ready-to-eat.
  • Combine the mustard and the brown sugar in a bowl, then add the sherry to make a thick paste. Spread the mixture over the ham approximately 20 minutes before it is ready to remove from the oven, then bake until crust has formed.

  • Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern before baking. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat.
  • Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) before baking the ham.
  • Bake the ham slowly: Bake the ham for 20-25 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  • Baste the ham frequently: Baste the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes during the last hour of baking.
  • Let the ham rest before carving: Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
