Provided by Trisha Yearwood

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.)

MOIST SPIRAL CUT HAM WITH PINEAPPLE HONEY GLAZE



Moist Spiral Cut Ham With Pineapple Honey Glaze image

Using a spiral-cut ham and adding this glaze makes for a delicious ham with a wonderfully aromatic, sweet, glaze. Using the water bath to raise the ham temperature before you begin cooking and then using an oven bag to cook the ham (techniques borrowed from Cook's Illustrated) guarantees that every slice is moist and delicious.

Categories     Sauces

Time 3h

Yield 12-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 spiral cut ham, bone-in (8-12 pounds)
1 large oven cooking bag, with tie
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple, juice reserved
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • 1. Place ham, left in plastic covering from company (and netting to make handling easier), into large container. Cover with hot tap water. Let sit for 45 minutes. Empty water and refill with hot tap water for another 45 minutes. This allows the internal temperature of ham to raise before placing in oven.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Adjust oven rack to lowest position.
  • 3. Remove ham from water and all packaging from company. Be sure to remove plastic disk covering bone. Place ham inside large oven bag making sure that the cut side is at bottom of bag. Gather bag tightly around ham and tie. Place in large roasting pan. Cut 4 small slits in top of bag with knife.
  • 4. Bake ham until internal temperature reaches 100 degrees (approximately 90 minutes or 10 minutes per pound).
  • 5. During last minutes of ham cooking time, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, paprika, and ginger in small saucepan. Once combined add pineapple juice and honey and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Consitency should just allow you to pour. If not, add more pineapple juice.
  • 6. Remove ham from oven. Untie oven bag and roll down sides. Any juices inside bag you will want to keep within bag. Increase heat in oven to 350 degrees.
  • 7. Starting at the bottom cut portion of the ham, hang pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks.
  • 8. Slowly poor 1/4 of glaze over ham. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Repeat twice. You will still have glaze left over for those who may like more glaze with their ham.
  • 9. After final oven glazing, remove ham from oven. Remove pineapple slices (if you wish) to a separate bowl for serving. There will be liquid in the bottom of the bag. My family likes this added to the leftover glaze to pour on individual ham slices and served with individual pineapple slices.
  • 10. Place ham on platter and serve. Pour glaze and ham juices into gravy boat for service.

HONEY HAM GLAZE



Honey Ham Glaze image

This recipe is a combination of a couple I read while looking for a ham glaze and what I had available to me in my cupboards! It turned out really good!

Provided by adamwatson499

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Ham     Honey

Time 2h40m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (7 pound) bone-in ham
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup honey
¼ cup molasses
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham in a roasting pan and cover pan with aluminum foil.
  • Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until butter is softened and slightly melted, about 30 seconds. Mix honey and molasses into butter until evenly combined. Add maple syrup and ginger; mix well. Heat mixture in the microwave until glaze is smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Bake ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Baste ham and continue baking, basting every 20 to 30 minutes, for 1 hour more. Remove foil and bake until ham is cooked through, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a good quality honey: The honey you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the glaze. Look for a honey that is dark and flavorful, such as buckwheat honey or wildflower honey.
  • Don't overcook the glaze: The glaze should be thick and syrupy, but not too thick. If you overcook it, it will become hard and brittle.
  • Brush the glaze on the ham frequently: This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful. Brush the glaze on every 15-20 minutes during the last hour of cooking.
  • Let the ham rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Honey ham glaze is a delicious and easy way to add flavor to your holiday ham. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that will make your ham the star of the show. So next time you're cooking a ham, be sure to try this easy honey ham glaze recipe. You won't be disappointed!
