Tangerine-Glazed Easter Ham With Baby Carrots image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 to 10-pound) smoked ham, bone-in, skin on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in chunks
2 tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed
2 cups tangerine juice
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
11/2 pounds carrots, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time to bang-out the tangerine glaze.
  • For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • After the ham has been going for a couple of hours, pour the tangerine glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for 11/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.
  • Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the tangerine glaze. Stick the ham once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.
  • Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and tangerine glaze on the side.

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, &...

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.

Tips for Glazing Easter Ham:

  • Choose a high-quality ham: Opt for a fresh or spiral-cut ham with a good amount of marbling for a juicy and flavorful result.
  • Prepare the glaze: Experiment with various glaze recipes to create a glaze that suits your taste preferences. From sweet and tangy to savory and herbaceous, the possibilities are endless.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate deeply and evenly.
  • Preheat the oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the recommended temperature before placing the ham inside. This will help create a crisp and caramelized glaze.
  • Glaze the ham: Brush the prepared glaze generously over the scored ham, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Repeat the glazing process every 15-20 minutes during the cooking time.
  • Monitor the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the ham. The ham is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a medium-rare result, or 155°F (68°C) for a fully cooked ham.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
