Bourbon Pineapple And Orange Glazed Holiday Ham Recipes

BOURBON, PINEAPPLE AND ORANGE GLAZED HOLIDAY HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Using a sharp knife, score the ham into a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart.
• Stud the ham with whole cloves in the center of each diamond.
• Place ham fat side up in a shallow roasting pan (for easy clean-up line pan with aluminum foil, or use a heavy-duty disposable aluminum pan).
• Bake ham for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar, bourbon, orange marmalade, crushed pineapple, and prepared mustard. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
• Remove ham from the oven.
• Spoon half of the glaze/sauce over the ham.
• Decorate ham with pineapple rings, using a few toothpicks to hold ring in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring, and attach it with a toothpick.
• Return ham to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer ham to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving (be sure to remove all toothpicks).
• Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

MAPLE ORANGE BOURBON GLAZED HAM

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.

BOURBON-ORANGE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Mix together butter, brown sugar, and mustard powder.
• Bake ham, wrapped in heavy paper towel, for 2 hours at 325 degrees. Remove paper towel; cut off fat, then score the ham.
• Rub butter mixture all over the ham.
• Stir bourbon and orange juice together.
• Pour half of the o.j. and bourbon over the ham.
• Continue to bake ham another 45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with remaining o.j. and bourbon.

BOURBON-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes about 1/2-inch deep. Place the ham in a large, resealable bag. Add the bourbon, brown sugar, crushed pineapple, honey, and garlic to the bag; refrigerate at least 8 hours, turning the bag over several times while marinating.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Transfer the ham and marinade to a large baking dish; pour the water into the dish. Attach the pineapple rings around the surface of the ham with toothpicks.
• Bake in preheated oven until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (95 degrees C), basting occasionally with the sauce in the pan, 90 to 105 minutes.

GLAZED HOLIDAY HAM

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.
