MAPLE-GLAZED HAM



Maple-Glazed Ham image

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

THE BEST HAM GLAZE



The Best Ham Glaze image

A perfectly glazed ham is often the centerpiece of many holiday celebrations, including Easter and Christmas. Guests swoon over the juicy, savory slices on their plate. The most beautiful ham will have a tangy, sticky-sweet and shiny glaze. After tinkering with many ingredients, we landed on a knock-your-socks-off combination that includes brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and cloves for sweet, warm and slightly smoky notes. Dijon and a splash of apple cider vinegar add tang and zip while soy sauce gives it a great depth of flavor. Rounding out the glaze with brightness are the zest and juice of an orange. We hoped to only brush the ham once during baking, but test after test proved that glazing two more times during the last 30 minutes in the oven brings out the best flavors and creates the most magical sheen.

Time 4h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 8- to 10-pound fully-cooked bone-in ham
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
Zest and juice of 1 navel orange
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and trim off any skin. If your ham is not a spiral-cut ham, use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat.
  • Place the ham, flat side down, on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup water into the pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound-reduce the time to 10 minutes per pound for a spiral-cut ham).
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, orange zest and juice, Dijon, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, onion powder and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half (you should have 1 cup glaze), 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until the ham is ready.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush half of the glaze over the ham. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add 1 cup water. Return the ham to the oven and roast for 30 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 10 minutes (two more times) before returning to the oven.
  • Let the ham cool for 15 minutes before thinly slicing.

SCRUMPTIOUS CINNAMON MAPLE BROWN SUGAR GLAZED HAM



Scrumptious Cinnamon Maple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham image

My brother-in-law previously owned a meat processing plant and is very good at cooking any kind of meat. Using the soda is his technique, and the glaze is something that I came up with just by combining what I thought would be good. We tried it on a 7-lb ham and it was spectacular. We had guests the first time I made it and they raved about it. Be sure to use regular soda as the sugar in the soda is the active ingredient. Diet sodas will not work. We also used Butter-Flavored Maple Syrup, but regular Maple Syrup would be fine--use whatever is in your cupboard! This recipe would work great for a Sunday dinner, holiday entertaining, or a special occasion. It can be adapted for a smaller or larger ham, just adjust cooking times accordingly. Hope you enjoy it!

Tips:

  • For a crispier ham, uncover the ham during the last 30 minutes of baking.
  • To make the glaze ahead of time, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to use, bring the glaze to room temperature and whisk until smooth.
  • If you don't have a ham glaze brush, you can use a pastry brush or even a spoon to spread the glaze on the ham.
  • Be sure to score the ham before baking. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a more flavorful crust.
  • If you're using a pre-cooked ham, you can skip the baking step and simply glaze the ham and heat it through in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Conclusion:

The perfect glaze for your ham should be sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy. This recipe for maple cinnamon ham glaze is all of those things and more. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious glaze that will make your ham the star of the show.
