Brown Sugar Honey Baked Ham Recipes

BROWN SUGAR HONEY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Rinse ham and place in large baking pan.
• Pour honey over ham. Using your hands, pack the brown sugar evenly over the ham, pressing firmly so that the sugar will stick.
• Cover and place in oven. Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on size of ham. (Since it is fully cooked, all you are doing is warming it up.) Baste with juices.

HAM WITH HONEY AND BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the ham in a roasting pan and dot with cloves. In a saucepan combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey and orange juice. Stir and simmer over medium-low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour the glaze over the ham.
• Bake the ham uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Remove ham from package and netting. If it's been refrigerated, if possible let it sit out for about 1 hour to take a bit of the chill off. If ham is not pre-sliced, score the ham with shallow 1/2-inch/12mm criss-cross cuts.
• Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.
• Make the Glaze (this can also be done while ham bakes for the first 30 minutes): In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar glaze ingredients (brown sugar, honey, orange juice, optional mustard, cinnamon, clove (optional), and black pepper). Heat and whisk until brown sugar is dissolved and glaze is well combined. Set aside.
• Lay ham cut side down on a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Baking the ham for 30 minutes (or if using a different sized ham - about 20 minutes before it should be finished - base complete timing off of cooking for 12-14 minutes per pound), uncover the ham and and brush 1/2 of the glaze over the ham.
• Increase oven to 425°F/220°C, place the ham back in the oven, UNCOVERED, and bake for another 20 minutes or until the ham is crispy on the outside and the internal temperature is 140°F/60°C.
• Optional serving: Combine the juices from the roasting pan and the remaining glaze in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Brush the glaze onto the ham when serving or serve alongside in a bowl for everyone to add as they like.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover the pan with the lid and bake for half the estimated cooking time (Total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound.) Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the sugar and honey to a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until smooth and sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham and continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster.
• Check for doneness at the end of the estimated cooking time by inserting a meat thermometer at a meaty point (not into fat or touching the bone). It should register 160 degrees F.
• Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR & MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the raw ham in a large, clean bucket. Add enough water to cover and soak overnight, or up to 24 hrs ahead, changing the water twice.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Drain and place the ham in a large roasting tin, cover tightly with foil and bake for 3 hrs.
• Remove the ham from the oven and turn the heat up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the rind off the ham, leaving about 1-2 cm of fat; cut a diamond-shaped pattern into this. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and mustard, then rub all over the ham. Roast for 30 mins until the ham is tender and the outside nice and sticky.
• Bring to the table on a large platter lined with bay leaves. To serve, cut 1cm-thick slices off the ham to go alongside the rye bread, pickles and mustard sauce (Make your own sauce with our recipe below).

BROWN SUGAR MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F | 150°C and arrange a rack in the lower third. Remove any plastic packaging or netting from the ham. Trim away the rind and discard. Set the ham aside to rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
• Line a baking tray or dish with several sheets of aluminium foil or parchment paper if you prefer (it will make cleanup a lot easier).
• Remove the rind or skin of the ham (refer to steps in post), ensuring you leave the fat on. Using a sharp knife score a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern (don't cut more than 1/4 inch deep) over the entire ham. Place the ham in the baking tray; pour 1/3 cup of water into the base of the pan and cover the ham with two pieces of foil or parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small pot or saucepan over medium heat until golden browned. Add in the brown sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon and cloves, stirring to mix together well until the brown sugar has completely dissolved, (about 2 minutes).
• Reduce heat to low and add in the garlic. Allow it to become fragrant, cooking for a further minute or two until the glaze just begins to simmer, then set it aside and let cool to lukewarm (the glaze should be the consistency of room-temperature honey).
• After 30 minutes baking time, carefully remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F | 220°C. Discard the foil or parchment paper and pour 1/3 of the glaze all over the ham, brushing in between the cuts to evenly cover. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, brush with another third of the glaze and some of the pan juices, and repeat again after 15 minutes more minutes of baking until a dark golden-brown crust has formed, (about 30 minutes total). For added depth of flavour, mix some of the ham pan juices together with the glaze in the pot which will help keep it runny enough for brushing. If your crust is still pink after there suggested baking time, turn on your broiler (or oven grill), and allow it to broil for 2-5 minutes, while keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn from the sugar.
• Let the ham rest 10-20 minutes before slicing.

HOMEMADE HONEY BAKED HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line a roasting pan with foil (optional, but makes cleanup much easier), and place roasting rack inside.
• Remove spiral ham from packaging, remove any wrapping material, and pat dry.
• In a medium sized pan, mix together butter and honey, melting on medium heat, whisking until melted and well combined.
• Pour over ham, making sure to get all over and brush into crevaces and ridges. Cover ham with foil.
• Bake in oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, until your ham reaches 140 degrees internal temperature (be sure to not hit the bone of your spiral ham when measuring temperature.)
• Remove from oven, remove foil, and set aside. Drain off any fat or drippings from ham, and set aside for glaze.
• Set oven temperature to 450 and let preheat.
• In a small bowl, mix together sugar and spices. Set half in a bowl to use as a run over the ham, and place half in a small pot to heat on the stove as a glaze.
• Sprinkle half of the sugar and spice mixture - the half to be used as a rub- carefully to prevent burning your hands, over ham, making sure it is evenly coated in sugar and spice rub, and return to oven.
• Bake additional 5-8 minutes, until bubbly and hot. You can broil if you like, but we prefer baking. Bake until glaze is golden, ham is fully cooked so this is just to get your ideal amount of crunch!
• In small pot, whisk together sugar, spices, and ham drippings or fat (if your ham didn't give off enough drippings or liquid, add 2-4 tbsp butter), and melt, stirring frequently to mix.
• Let glaze thicken and reduce by half. Remove from heat and serve with ham.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
• Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
• Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)
