Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 10-pound bone-in smoked ham (with water added)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup clover honey

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
  • Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)

HONEY GLAZED HAM

This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time. You can even buy the ham presliced to make it easier and more like the original. It is very good. (I do this while preparing the rest of the meal in the kitchen so that I don't forget to baste!)

Chef John's Honey-Glazed Ham image

A great holiday ham glaze needs to have three things: wonderful flavor, gorgeous, shiny appearance, and a crispy, crackling crust you can hear across the room. I'm happy to report this easy-to-make glaze has all those things in abundance.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Ham     Whole

Time 2h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup water, or as needed
2 whole star anise
12 whole cloves, or more to taste
1 (7 pound) country-style ham
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¼ cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Pour water, star anise, and cloves into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack into the pan over the water, anise, and cloves; place ham on rack. Cut 1/4-inch deep slashes 1/2-inch apart lengthwise and crosswise across the top of the entire ham.
  • Bake ham in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until glaze has a thick, smooth consistency.
  • Brush glaze all over ham. Continue baking ham, brushing glaze on every 20 minutes, until glaze is deep golden and ham is heated through, about 2 hours 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
  • Use a kitchen torch to heat the glaze on the ham until it is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right ham: For the best results, opt for a fully cooked ham with a bone in. Bone-in hams tend to be more flavorful and moist than boneless ones.
  • Preheating the oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the desired temperature before placing the ham inside. This helps the ham cook evenly.
  • Using a baking dish: Place the ham in a baking dish large enough to accommodate it comfortably. This prevents the juices from overflowing.
  • Covering the ham: Cover the ham loosely with foil during baking to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Basting the ham: Baste the ham with the honey glaze every 15-20 minutes to ensure it stays flavorful and caramelized.
  • Checking the internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham. It should reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a fully cooked ham.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed baked ham is a classic dish perfect for special occasions or a hearty family meal. With its sweet and savory glaze, tender meat, and impressive presentation, this dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can achieve the perfect honey-glazed baked ham that is moist, flavorful, and caramelized. Remember to choose a high-quality ham, use a reliable glaze recipe, and cook it to the right internal temperature.
