CELEBRATION SPICED BAKED HAM WITH ORANGE AND MARMALADE GLAZE



Celebration Spiced Baked Ham With Orange and Marmalade Glaze image

A delectable sticky glazed ham cooked in spiced cider and with a tangy marmalade glaze! This is one of my most requested recipes from family and friends - I have been cooking and preparing this ham for about 20 years now; it is wonderful for celebrations and festive gatherings! You can increase the quantities and weight with ease, although I have given the minimum ham weight here. The "boil before baking" method gives you a moist and flavourful ham with a sticky glaze, and just a hint of spices. A couple of "musts", do use good quality high fruit ratio marmalade, and if the ham is smoked or heavily brined - do soak the ham joint overnight or for up to 24 hours, in cold water - it disperses the excess salt. This ham makes a wonderful centrepiece for any special meal; however, it is also a wonderful and very economical way of providing two more types of snacks or meals - ham sandwiches, plus the ham stock makes a delicious base for all types of soups, especially ham and pea soup! I have stated oranges for the decorative finish - but clementines or tangerines would work very well too.

Time P1DT1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs ham, joint
1 pint cider (optional)
water
1 large onion, peeled and cut in half
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
10 cloves
10 black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
4 -6 tablespoons marmalade
1 large oranges or 1 medium orange, sliced thinly
2 tablespoons demerara sugar or 2 tablespoons soft brown sugar
wooden cocktail stick

Steps:

  • If the ham or gammon needs soaking, place in cold, clean water and soak overnight or for up to 24 hours.
  • Boiling the Ham:.
  • Place ham joint in a roomy saucepan - there should be plenty of space to add the liquids plus the vegetables and spices.
  • Stick the cloves into the onion halves - 5 cloves in each half.
  • Pour in the cider if using and top up with water - the liquids should just cover the ham.
  • Add the onion halves, carrots, bay leaves and black peppercorns.
  • Bring to the boil, and remove any scum that rises to the surface.
  • Reduce the heat and cook on a rolling simmer for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes extra; a 3 lb ham will take 1 hour and 20 minutes to cook.
  • Take off the heat, and allow to cool slightly.
  • Take out the onions and discard the cloves. Skim out the black peppercorns and discard them as well as the bay leaves.
  • Allow to cool completely; the ham can be stored in its cooking liquor in a cool place for up to 48 hours now, before baking.
  • Before baking, remove the ham and set aside. Skim off any fat that has risen to the surface of the stock, it will be easy once the stock is cold.
  • Take out the carrots and onions and chop them up finely, then add them back to the stock.
  • The stock can be frozen now or kept in the fridge for about 3-4 days before being cooked and used for soups or a stew base.
  • Baking the Ham:.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F or gas mark 6.
  • If the ham has any skin, peel the skin off and discard it, trim any excess fat off the joint as well.
  • Take an ovenproof dish large enough to take the ham with ease; skewer the sliced oranges with the cocktail sticks all over the surface of the ham.
  • Spoon over the marmalade and then spoon the sugar over the oranges, patting it down firmly.
  • Bake in the oven for between 30 and 45 minutes for a 3 lb ham - or until the glaze is sticky, glossy and the oranges are slightly caramelised.
  • Serve slices of ham with some of the marmalade glaze over the top, garnished with a slice of orange. (Be careful to remove all the cocktail sticks before serving!).
  • You can make extra glaze by heating up some marmalade with a little water or cider in a small saucepan, and serving it in a gravy boat.
  • Wonderful with boiled or mashed potatoes, steamed greens or red cabbage. We often eat this with sauerkraut as well!

HONEY-ORANGE BAKED HAM



Honey-Orange Baked Ham image

Make this honey-baked ham the centerpiece of your holiday dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole smoked ham (14 to 18 pounds), bone in and rind on
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 large onion, cut into 6 wedges
1 large orange, cut into 6 wedges
4 sprigs rosemary
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 1/2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Rinse ham with cool water; dry with paper towels. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature 1 hour. Meanwhile, whisk together honey, orange juice, balsamic vinegar, and mustard; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees, with rack in lower third. Fit a roasting pan with a rack, and place ham, with the thicker rind on top, on rack. Scatter onion and orange wedges and rosemary around ham on rack. Transfer to oven, and cook 1 hour.
  • Remove pan from oven, and let ham cool slightly. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Trim fat all over the ham to a layer of about 1/4 inch (it does not need to be perfectly even; the bottom will have less fat and more skin). Turn ham, bottom side down. Score fat on top of ham in a diamond pattern, each 1 to 2 inches, cutting about 1/4 to 1/2 inch through the fat and into meat. Baste with honey mixture. Add enough water to roasting pan to fill the bottom by about 1/4 inch.
  • Return ham to oven, and cook 1 hour more, basting often with remaining marinade (do not baste with pan juices). If necessary, add water to pan to keep juices from burning. Remove from oven; transfer ham to a serving platter; discard orange, onion, and rosemary. Let stand 30 minutes before carving ham.
  • Meanwhile, make gravy: Strain liquid from roasting pan into a liquid measuring cup or bowl, and skim off fat from surface with a large spoon. Place roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add cider vinegar, and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Return defatted juices to pan along with 2 cups stock. Bring to a boil, and let simmer.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 1/2 cups stock and the flour; whisk into sauce. Continue simmering until liquid is reduced by half and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with ham.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham, and a fully cooked ham will be easier to prepare than an uncooked ham.
  • Score the ham. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a good quality orange marmalade. The marmalade will provide sweetness and acidity to the glaze.
  • Cook the ham slowly. This will help to ensure that the ham is cooked through without drying out.
  • Let the ham rest before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Orange baked ham is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for any special occasion. By following these tips, you can create a ham that is moist, flavorful, and perfectly glazed.
