Time 1h25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 bone-in hickory smoked spiral sliced ham, cooked (8 to 10 pounds)
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a shallow baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set a wire baking rack on top.
Using kitchen twine, tie the ham at 2 to 3-inch intervals both horizontally and vertically. This will hold the slices together as well as help the ham remain moist while baking. Position the ham (bottom side up) on the rack.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Pour 1/4 cup glaze evenly over the ham, then turn the ham so that the uncoated side is up. Pour 1/2 cup glaze evenly over the top.
Bake the ham for 30 minutes. Remove ham from the oven and brush with remaining glaze. Bake 30 minutes longer. Baste the ham a final time with the juices that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan and cook 10 minutes longer, or until the ham is heated through and the edges are nicely browned.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the kitchen twine and transfer the ham to a serving platter. Carefully pour any accumulated glaze/cooking juices from the baking sheet into a small gravy boat or container. Brush the ham a final time with the glaze. Serve ham hot or at room temperature. Leftover ham is delicious in sandwiches.
Note: If ham begins to brown excessively before it is heated through, tent loosely with aluminum foil and continue cooking.

Time 3h45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 (8 lb) fresh ham (shank and leg of pork)
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
whole cloves
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup whiskey
4 cups cola drink

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
With a sharp knife, puncture and score the skin of the ham, making parallel 1/2-inch-deep incisions. Turn the ham and score again to make a grid-like pattern.
In a small bowl combine the salt, Essence, pepper, and cayenne. Rub evenly all over the ham. Place the ham, fatty side up, in a large roasting pan. Place 1 clove where the lines intersect on the ham. Rub the sugar evenly over the ham, pressing to pack. Pour 2 cups of cola into the bottom of the roasting pan and bake for 1 hour. In a container, combine the whisky and the remaining 2 cups of cola.
Baste the ham with the whiskey and cola and continue to bake, basting every 15 minutes with the whisky and coke mixture and pan juices, until the ham is cooked through, the skin is crisp and dark, and a meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Remove from the oven and let rest at least 20 minutes before carving. To serve, slice the meat thinly across the grain and arrange on a platter.

Tips:

To ensure the ham is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for well-done.
If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the ham is done by inserting a fork or skewer into the thickest part of the ham. If the juices run clear, the ham is done.
Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

Emeril Lagasse's Spiced Honey and Lemon Baked Ham is a delicious and easy-to-make Easter dish. The ham is coated in a flavorful spice rub and then baked until it is tender and juicy. The spiced honey and lemon glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the ham, making it a perfect centerpiece for your Easter feast.
