Maple Orange Glazed Ham Recipes

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham. Score the ham in a diagonal crosshatch pattern (about 1-inch apart) without cutting through into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, fattier side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour a 1/2-inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and roast, about 1 hour. Remove the foil, add more water if the water has dried up and recover loosely with the foil. Continue to bake until the ham reaches 130 degrees F, adding more water if needed to keep the roasting pan from burning, 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours more (about 15 minutes per pound).
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Whisk the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, coriander, ginger, allspice and a generous amount of black pepper in a liquid measuring cup. Spoon off about 1/4 cup of the pan juices from the ham and whisk into the glaze mixture. Brush about half of the glaze all over the ham. Continue to bake, brushing the ham with the glaze twice more until the surface of the ham is caramelized and the internal temperature in the center of the ham reads 140 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, adding more water if the bottom of the pan dries out and begins to burn, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the ham to a cutting board or platter and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the rosemary, oranges and any additional glaze on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake until a thermometer reads 130°, 1-1/2 to 2 hours., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. , Remove ham from oven. Pour glaze over ham. Bake ham, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 140°, 15-30 minutes longer.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the ham on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with the fat-side up. Use a small knife to lightly score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Bake the ham for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the marmalade, bourbon, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is thick and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Brush the ham with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Roast, glazing the ham every 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (The ham will get very brown, but if the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of foil greased with cooking spray. Let rest, tented with a piece of greased foil, for about 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Add the spices and bay. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for around 1 hr 50 mins, topping up the water level with boiling water, if necessary. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top every now and then.
• Carefully pour the liquid away (I like to keep it for making soup), then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lift the ham into a large roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern, then stud cloves all over the ham. Can now be chilled for up to 2 days.
• Mix the glaze ingredients in a jug. Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 35 mins, basting with the pan juices 3-4 times as it bakes. Turn the pan around a few times during cooking so the fat colours evenly. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 mins before carving. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.
