Categories     Ham

Time 4h30m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup Dr. Pepper cola
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 bone-in half ham, preferably shank end (7 to 10 pounds)
1 oven cooking bag

Steps:

  • Bring Dr. Pepper, sugar, orange juice, and mustard to boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is syrupy and measures 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. (Glaze can be refrigerated for several days; reheat when needed.).
  • Remove ham from packaging and discard plastic disk that covers bone. Place ham in plastic oven bag, tie bag shut. Set ham cut side down in 13 by 9-inch baking dish and cut 4 slits in top of bag. Let stand at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Heat oven to 250 degrees. Bake ham until center registers about 100 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (about 14 minutes per pound) , depending on weight of ham.
  • Remove ham from oven and roll back sides of bag to expose ham. Brush ham liberally with glaze and return to oven briefly until glaze becomes sticky, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, brush entire ham again with glaze, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 30 to 40 minutes before carving.

DR. PEPPER HAM GLAZE

I served this delicious Ham glaze at our Family Reunion in July & made a double batch of the glaze. I served it for our Christmas Dinner this year. We loved it so much we ended up making a second recipe the next day to go with the extra left over ham slices. WE JUST LOVE THIS SIMPLE AND EASY GLAZE. It is so delicious. It is easy...

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c dr pepper soda
1 1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c orange juice
1/2 c di jon or whole grain mustard

Steps:

  • 1. Add all of the glaze ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Whisk or stir until sugar dissolves into liquid. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and cook until mixture becomes thick and syrupy. About 15 to 20 minutes, maybe a bit longer. NOTE IF YOU COOK TOO LONG GLAZE WILL HARDEN, AND MAY NEED TO BE HEATED. I USUALLY MAKE AN EXTRA BATCH OF THIS GLAZE TO SERVE ON THE SIDE, IT IS THAT GOOD.
  • 2. Remove from heat and brush over the outer surface of ham. Then return ham to oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat if desired.
  • 3. Place ham on large platter, and garnish as desired. EXTRA GLAZE IS DELICIOUS SERVED ON THE SIDE along with ham.

#1 EASIEST DR. PEPPER HAM GLAZE EVER!



#1 Easiest Dr. Pepper Ham Glaze Ever! image

I've been making this glaze for years. It has 3 ingredients and can't be any easier to make. You can use Coke if you want, but I was told because of the higher content of sugar, that the Dr. Pepper is best. Either way, it is easy & really good!

Tips for Making Dr Pepper Ham Glaze:

  • Choose a high-quality ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-cut for easy slicing.
  • Use a good-quality Dr Pepper: Not all Dr Peppers are created equal. Choose a brand that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't boil the glaze: Simmer it gently over low heat until it thickens and reduces. This will help to preserve the flavor of the Dr Pepper.
  • Baste the ham frequently: This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ham rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more tender and flavorful slice.

Conclusion:

Dr Pepper ham glaze is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your holiday ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new way to prepare ham, give Dr Pepper ham glaze a try.
