Bourbon &
Mustard Glazed Home-style Ham
One 15
lb good quality smoked ham at room temperature
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup golden/brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 cups Kentucky Bourbon
Put oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 325
degrees F. Pull away rind on ham. With a thin, sharp knife, slice away
all but 1/4 inch off of any fat on the upper surface. Etch a diamond
pattern about 1/8 inch deep into the upper surface of the ham. Set the
ham, scored side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan just large
enough to hold it. Add 3 cups water to the pan. Set the pan in the
oven and bake the ham approx. 1-1/2 hours. In a small bowl, stir
together the mustard, brown sugar, honey and Tabasco. Pour out the
water from the pan. Spread all the mustard mixture evenly over the
upper surface of the ham. Add the bourbon to the pan. Bake the ham for
about 30 - 40 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the bourbon and
pan juices, until the ham is richly browned and thoroughly heated. Set
for at least 15 minutes before carving. Serves approx. 12.
Cran-Apple Ham Bake
One
medium sized smoked ham
Honey
Sliced apples
Cranberries
Cinnamon
Cloves
Sherry
Method:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease the base of a casserole
dish. Cut the ham into 1" slices. Cover the base of the casserole dish
with ham slices. Drizzle the ham with honey, and then sprinkle cloves
and cinnamon. Repeat the layering process and baste with sherry. Cover
the casserole and bake for about 45 minutes - basting several times
throughout the cooking process. Take off the lid for the last 5-10
minutes of cooking.
Easy Glazed Ham
Place your ham on a rack in a shallow
roasting pan.
Bake in at 325 degrees according to recommended time.
Take out of the oven, about 45 minutes before the end of the cooking
time.
Gently slice the fat surface and stick with whole cloves.
In a bowl, mix equal parts of mustard and molasses, and brush the
mixture over the ham.
Continue baking, occasionally brushing with the glaze until done.
Orange Marmalade
and Bourbon Glazed Ham
This is a delicious Holiday main course from Teresa Johnson.
1 medium ham, butt
if possible (spiral cut is great)
Whole cloves
1 cup water
1 cup cream sherry
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
½ cup orange marmalade
½ cup bourbon
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
¼ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
Preheat oven to 425
degrees. Line roasting pan with foil. Trim rind and fat from ham, if
necessary, leaving ¼-inch layer of fat. Score ham in diamond
pattern. Stick cloves into center of each diamond. Place ham in
pan. Combine water, sherry, and ginger in a small bowl. Pour sauce
over ham. Bake 5 minutes per pound.
Cook marmalade,
bourbon, and mustard over medium heat in a small saucepan until warm,
stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes (glaze will be thin). Increase
oven to 450 degrees. Brush glaze over ham and sprinkle with brown
sugar. Bake until deep brown, about 20 minutes. Spoon off fat from
the pan juices. Transfer juices to a saucepan and boil until thick,
about 10 minutes. Slice ham and serve it with the au jus.
Orange Raisin Sauce
Serve
this over your baked Holiday Ham.
2 cup raisins
2 ½ cups orange juice
2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
½ tsp. cloves
½ tsp.
cinnamon
½ tsp. dry mustard
Mix orange juice and raisins in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat to
plump up the raisins.
In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cornstarch, then stir into orange juice
and raisin mixture.
Stir in spices. Keep stirring and cook until it thickens. Add nuts.
