Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h55m

Yield 18 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 20-pound bone-in fully cooked ham
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the ham in a roasting dish with 1 cup water in the bottom of the dish. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Check the ham after 45 minutes and add more water if necessary or tent with aluminum foil if it is getting past a dark golden brown.)
  • Meanwhile, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and cayenne in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • If you used it, remove the foil from the ham and slather the ham with the glaze. Return the ham to the oven uncovered. Continue to roast, brushing the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature is between 140 and 150 degrees F, another 1 hour and 30 minutes. (If the ham starts to become too dark on the outside, tent it with aluminum foil. We are looking for a dark, sticky, flavorful glaze on the outside of the ham. Use all the glaze! Really slather it on!)
  • Remove the ham from the oven, remove the foil, brush with any remaining glaze and cook, uncovered for another 5 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.

MAPLE-GLAZED HAM

I cook this ham for Christmas and for Easter, but my husband thinks that twice a year is not enough. If it were up to him, we'd eat this every day! When I have larger hams, I double the glaze. If any glaze is left, we use it on pancakes the next day. -Jeanie Beasley, Tupelo, Mississippi

MAPLE & MUSTARD GLAZED HAM



Maple & mustard glazed ham image

Gordon Ramsay's succulent maple-glazed ham is perfect for a Boxing Day feast

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole leg of gammon, smoked or unsmoked, around 5kg weight bone-in
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp peppercorns
1 tsp coriander seeds
2 bay leaves
about 25 whole cloves
200ml maple syrup
2 tbsp coarse-grain mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce

Steps:

  • Put the gammon in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Add the spices and bay. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for around 1 hr 50 mins, topping up the water level with boiling water, if necessary. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top every now and then.
  • Carefully pour the liquid away (I like to keep it for making soup), then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lift the ham into a large roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern, then stud cloves all over the ham. Can now be chilled for up to 2 days.
  • Mix the glaze ingredients in a jug. Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 35 mins, basting with the pan juices 3-4 times as it bakes. Turn the pan around a few times during cooking so the fat colours evenly. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 mins before carving. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Opt for a fully cooked ham for convenience and reduced cooking time. Spiral-cut hams allow for even cooking and easy slicing.
  • Enhance the glaze: Feel free to customize the glaze by adding spices, herbs, or citrus zest to complement the ham's flavor profile.
  • Monitor the ham's temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for safety and optimal taste.
  • Glaze timing: Apply the glaze towards the end of the cooking process, allowing it to caramelize and infuse the ham with flavor without burning the sugar.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish the glazed ham with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for an appealing presentation. Serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad.
