Recipe by: Food Network
-
Ingredients:
- 1 9- to 10-pound bone-in fully cooked smoked ham (butt or shank half)
- 2 tablespoons whole cloves (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups glaze of your choosing (recipes follow)
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup apple jelly
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons five-spice powder
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Grated zest and juice of 2 limes
- 8 thin slices ginger
- 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- Remove the ham from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the glaze of your choosing.
- For the Apple-Maple Glaze: Boil the apple cider in a saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; stir in the apple jelly, maple syrup, mustard, allspice and nutmeg.
- For the Mustard-Orange Glaze: Mix the brown sugar, mustard and orange zest and juice in a bowl.
- For the Hoisin-Spice Glaze: Toast the five-spice powder in a small saucepan over medium heat with the peanut oil, about 1 minute. Add the hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce and 1 cup water. Boil and reduce to 1 1/2 cups, about 5 minutes.
- For the Pineapple-Apricot Glaze: Put the lime juice in a saucepan; add the ginger and pineapple juice. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Strain, then add the lime zest, apricot preserves and mustard.
- Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Insert the cloves into the ham (if using), placing them at the intersections of the cuts.
- Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch water into the bottom of the pan. Transfer to the oven and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130˚F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound).
- Increase the oven temperature to 425˚F. Pour half of the glaze over the ham and brush to coat. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add more.
- Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until glossy and well browned, about 45 more minutes.
