Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 14 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 7- to 9-pound fully cooked spiral-cut ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup grainy brown mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 medium oranges, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Let the ham sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. This will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Make the glaze: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, orange zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Place a rack in a roasting pan. Put the ham on the rack large open-face down (so the spiral cuts are stacked on top of one another). Brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, getting it between the slices as much as you can.
  • Pour about an inch of water in the base of the roasting pan; the water should not touch the ham. Tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes per pound (1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes).
  • Take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush half of the remaining glaze on the ham. When the oven is up to temperature, return the ham, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the ham to a platter. Serve right away, or cover with foil and take it to your gathering!

CHRISTMAS CHERRY HAM GLAZE



Christmas Cherry Ham Glaze image

This may also be served on the side as a sauce and doubles well, for the best flavor I recommend to use a good quality cherry preserve such as Smuckers

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) jar cherry preserves
1/4 cup liquid honey
1/4 cup red wine vinegar (no substitutes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt (can use a little more to taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan combine all ingredients; bring to a light simmer over medium heat.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring for 5 minutes.
  • The last 30 minutes of cooking the ham remove from oven and baste with the sauce.
  • Continue to cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cherries: Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Toast the almonds: Toasting the almonds brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a pan on the stovetop or in the oven.
  • Use a good quality ham: The ham is the star of the show, so be sure to use a good quality one. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcook the ham: The ham is already cooked, so you just need to warm it through. Overcooking will make the ham dry and tough.
  • Let the ham rest before slicing: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond ham glaze is a delicious and easy way to dress up a ham for a special occasion. The sweet and tart cherries, crunchy almonds, and rich ham are a perfect combination. This glaze is also very versatile and can be used on other meats, such as chicken or pork. So next time you're looking for a special glaze for your ham, give cherry almond glaze a try.
