Steps:
- Place the joint in a large pan over the hob, or burner, and add 7 quarts of dry ginger ale. Bring the pan to the boil then lower the heat slightly so that it keeps bubbling steadily for 4 1/2 hours.
- Towards the end of the 4 1/2 hours, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and begin the glaze.
- In a bowl, add 1 cup of chunky ginger preserves. Stir in 2 tablespoons of hot English mustard. Add 1/2 a cup of soft, dark brown sugar and sprinkle in 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cloves.

GINGER ALE GLAZED HAM FOR EASTER DINNER
This was the main attraction for our Easter dinner, it was a 10 3/4 pound Hillshire Spiral Half Ham. We love Hillshire Ham in fact I often refer to it as the Cadillac of all hams because of it's superiority in flavor, taste & quality. It is expensive but it is well worth every penny you pay for it. It is not overly salty, &...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. But follow the directions for the ham that you have purchased.
- 2. I had to remove the wrapping and the disk covering the bone, and then wrap the ham tightly in aluminum foil. Then place in a large pan with a 2 inch side. No water was needed. Place ham in middle rack and bake for 13 -15 minutes per pound. My ham needed 2 1/2 hours baking time.
- 3. GLAZE RECIPE: Add the ginger ale, ground mustard, brown sugar & cloves to a medium sauce pan, then stir to blend. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil, whisking as you go. Do not leave sauce pan unattended or it can quickly boil over. Continue to stir as glaze will thicken in just a few minutes about 5 to 10 minutes. When glaze becomes syrupy remove from heat and add butter, then stir till butter melts. Then brush glaze over ham on all sides.
- 4. I baked the ham for 2 hours, then made the glaze while the ham was baking, removed the ham after the 2 hours has elapsed, then glazed the ham on all sides, then returned it to the oven. Then repeated this step 2 additional times for a total of 30 minutes. There was juice that accumulated in the bottom of the pan from the ham.
- 5. I lined a platter with fresh greens, and added some decorative fruit that I had cut, and placed a cherry in the middle of each piece of citrus fruit , added a few green & red Grapes that I drizzled with Agave nectar and dusted with powdered sugar.
- 6. Added the ham & carefully separated the slices & arranged them on the tray in an attractive manner.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
- 2. I slow cooked an 8 1/2 lb ham in a shallow roasting pan for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I added just a cup of ginger ale to the shallow pan and tented the ham with foil.
- 3. Prepare glaze: 30 minutes before ham is done cooking, make your glaze in a separate bowl, 3/4 cup of prepared mustard (French's, dijon... whatever your taste), 1/2 cup of honey and a 1/2 cup of light brown sugar.
- 4. Take ham out of the oven and score the top and smother with glaze. Put back in the oven for at least 10 minutes and add more glaze if desired. Or, what I did was spoon the ginger ale juices back over the glazed ham. Let cook for another 10 minutes and should be ready to serve.
- 5. As it shows in the picture, I made a side of garlic sour cream mashed potatoes and peas simmered in the ginger ale juice from the ham.

Steps:
- Put the gammon in a large pan and cover with 2 litres of ginger ale. Top up with water to cover the joint, if you need to. Add the whole allspice berries and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer gently, covered, for 2½ hrs. Top up with water, if you need to, while it's simmering.
- Drain the ham and leave until it's cool enough to handle while you make the glaze. Put the remaining ginger ale in a pan with the sugar, grated ginger and crushed allspice. Simmer, uncovered, for 20-25 mins until syrupy.
- Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Remove the skin from the ham, leaving a layer of fat, then score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Transfer the ham to a foil-lined roasting tin, and brush over half the glaze. Roast for 15 mins, then glaze with the remaining syrup. Increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast for a further 15-20 mins until you get a sticky golden crust. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving. Drizzle over more glaze from the tin to serve, if you like. Can be made ahead and chilled for up to four days.

GINGER ALE GLAZED HAM
We love the ginger ale glaze on this baked ham. It's slightly sweet but tangy at the same time. There is a hint of spice from the red pepper. Now, this ham takes a little babysitting because of basting but the end result is amazing. As you bake the ham, the glaze thickens up. Glazing the ham with honey at the end is a tasty final touch. It mixes with the glaze and adds great flavor. Juicy, this is a delicious holiday ham.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Opt for a fully cooked ham for convenience and time-saving. Shank or spiral-cut hams are great options.
- Enhance flavor with spices: Before glazing, coat the ham with a mixture of brown sugar, ground mustard, and cloves. This adds a savory and slightly sweet flavor.
- Simmer ginger ale: Bring ginger ale to a simmer in a saucepan to reduce it slightly and concentrate its sweetness.
- Glaze the ham: Brush the reduced ginger ale mixture over the ham during the last 30 minutes of baking. This creates a shiny and flavorful glaze.
- Monitor the ham's temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a fully cooked ham.
Conclusion:
This Ginger Ale Glazed Ham is an exceptional dish that combines the classic flavors of Easter dinner with a unique and delicious twist. The sweet and tangy glaze, infused with the warmth of ginger ale, perfectly complements the savory ham. Whether you're hosting a large gathering or enjoying a cozy family meal, this recipe is sure to impress.
