Glazed Holiday Ham image

This is the ham that led directly to whatever childhood memory caused someone to combine ham and pineapple on a pizza. The sweet, slightly fiery and herbaceous crust on this salty haunch practically calls out for a garnish of caramelized pineapple, if not a spray of maraschino cherries. Others may reverse course and apply mustard. Either way, it is good to serve with a nutty wild rice or potatoes au grain, something with backbone.

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 7-to-8-pound bone-in ham
Whole cloves
1½ teaspoons dry mustard powder
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Score the ham diagonally left to right, then right to left, to create a diamond pattern across the meat. Stud each diamond with a whole clove.
  • Add a cup or two of water to the bottom of the pan, then bake the ham, uncovered, 25 minutes to the pound if it is ready-to-cook, about half that if it is ready-to-eat.
  • Combine the mustard and the brown sugar in a bowl, then add the sherry to make a thick paste. Spread the mixture over the ham approximately 20 minutes before it is ready to remove from the oven, then bake until crust has formed.

The ham was a bit dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I'll try basting the ham more often next time.

This ham was a bit too salty for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less salt in the glaze.

The ham was a bit dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I'll try brining the ham next time to see if that makes a difference.
