Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
2 teaspoons whole cloves
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown mustard
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup peach nectar
1 cup peach preserves
5 cups frozen peach slices
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1 hot cherry pepper, seeded and minced
1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Use a serrated knife to score the top of the ham in a diamond pattern. Press whole cloves into the ham and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
  • Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the preheated oven, or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover with aluminum foil if the ham starts to look dry.
  • While the ham is baking, mix together the cinnamon, mustard and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a cup or small bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the remaining brown sugar, cider vinegar, peach nectar and peach preserves. Bring to a boil and then stir in the sliced peaches, ginger, cherry pepper and the cinnamon stick. Simmer until the peaches are tender and the sauce has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and brush liberally with the mustard glaze. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and return the ham to the oven, uncovered.
  • Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until glaze is bubbly. Allow the ham to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with hot Peach-Ginger sauce.

Ginger Ale - Honey Mustard Glazed Ham image

The glaze on this recipe is sweet, tangy and delicious! This would be perfect for your holiday ham... it will be a big hit with guests!

Provided by Tiffany Ash

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 1/2 lb ham
1 c ginger ale
3/4 c prepared mustard
1/2 c honey
1/2 c light brown sugar

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.

GINGER CHILE GLAZED HAM WITH FLAMBE FINISH



Ginger Chile Glazed Ham with Flambe Finish image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 7- to 8-pound fully cooked bone-in ham
1 cup chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated on a rasp
1/2 teaspoon chile flakes
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/3 cup bourbon, optional

Steps:

  • Temper the ham by bringing it out of the fridge 90 minutes before cooking. (This will allow it to heat more evenly and not dry out.)
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan fitted with a rack. Using a paring knife, score the fatty side of the ham by gently slicing lines 1/2-inch apart, crisscrossing on an angle to create a diamond pattern. This will allow the glaze to soak into the ham. Add the chicken stock to the bottom of the pan, then cover the pan in foil. Cook for 40 minutes, basting every 10 to 15 minutes.
  • To make the glaze, warm the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and chile flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar, honey, lime juice and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, then cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Set aside the glaze in a bowl, leaving about 1/4 cup behind in the pan for finishing.
  • Remove the ham from the oven and raise the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Remove the foil from the ham and discard the drippings from the pan. Brush the ham liberally with half of the glaze. Return to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, then brush again. Bake again until dark and caramelized, another 15 minutes. Remove the ham to a rimmed platter.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup glaze to a simmer over medium-low heat. If using the bourbon, remove the glaze from heat and add the bourbon. Using a lighter, flambe the alcohol in the pan and very carefully pour over the ham. (The alcohol can be omitted and you can just put the warm glaze over the ham.)

GINGER ALE GLAZED HAM FOR EASTER DINNER



Ginger Ale Glazed Ham for Easter Dinner image

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, &...

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 10 3/4 pound spiral hillshire ham
1 c good quality ginger ale
1 c stone ground mustard
1 c light brown sugar firmly packed
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 1/2 Tbsp butter

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.
