Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Remove ham from packaging and enclose it securely, flat side down, in a very large piece of heavy duty foil. Close the foil so that it will open from the top. Place it flat side down in a large baking dish or roasting pan and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes per pound or until heated through and the internal temperature of the ham reads 140 degrees F when measured with an instant read thermometer.
- Meanwhile, whisk together glaze ingredients in a saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Bring to a low boil then reduce the heat to LOW and allow to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside. The glaze will continue to thicken as it rests.
- After the initial cooking time, remove the pan from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Open the foil to expose the ham and pour about ¾ of the glaze evenly over the top and sides. Return the uncovered pan to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or just until the glaze has caramelized (watch carefully to avoid burning).
- Remove from the oven and allow it to rest in the foil for 10 minutes. Spoon any glaze that has been captured in the foil over the ham as it rests and then brush it all over with the reserved glaze.

SPICY MAPLE-GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 380 degrees F. Whisk gochujang, apple juice, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, and espresso in a small bowl.
- Place ham onto a rack fitted over a sheet pan. Generously brush the glaze all over the ham with a pastry or silicone brush. The glaze will seep into the ham, giving it a burnished finish throughout. Bake 1-1½ hours, depending on the size of your ham, basting every 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, for the first basting, the spiral cuts will begin to brown and separate. Baste all over, then place back in the oven. The ham will be basted 5-6 times in total, for a bubbly, burnished finish.
- Remove ham from oven and pull away the outermost layer from the cut side (this slice will be dried out). Let rest while preparing the garnish. Lay kale or cabbage leaves onto a platter, then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Gently place the ham on the leaves and serve.

MAPLE-GLAZED HAM
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

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Opt for a bone-in, fully cooked ham for the best flavor and texture. Look for one with a good amount of marbling (fat) for extra juiciness.
- Score the ham: Before glazing the ham, score the fat cap with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy, caramelized crust.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The maple glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time on the day you're cooking the ham.
- Baste the ham regularly: Baste the ham every 15-20 minutes with the maple glaze. This will help keep the ham moist and flavorful.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the ham is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- Let the ham rest before carving: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more tender and juicy slice.
Conclusion:
Steve's Maple Glazed Spiral Ham is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its tender, juicy meat and sweet, sticky glaze, this ham is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your ham turns out perfectly.
