Honey Baked Ham By Alvin Recipe By Tasty

HONEY BAKED HAM (THE REAL THING!)

Steps:

• First you must slice your ham, if it is not already sliced.
• Use a very sharp knife to cut the ham into very thin slices around the bone.
• Do not cut all the way to the bone or the meat may not hold together properly as it is being glazed.
• You want the slices to be quite thin, but not so thin that they begin to fall apart of off the bone.
• You may wish to turn the ham onto its flat end and cut around it starting at the bottom.
• You can then spin the ham as you slice around and work your way up.
• Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl.
• (I like to make double this recipe for a nice large ham).
• Lay down a couple sheets of wax paper onto a flat surface, such as your kitchen counter.
• Pour the sugar mixture onto the wax paper and spread it around evenly.
• Pick up the ham and roll it over the sugar mixture so that it is well coated.
• Do not coat the flat end of the ham, just the outer surface which you have sliced through.
• Again, I like to stuff some of the sugar mixture INSIDE the slices.
• Turn the ham onto its flat end on a plate.
• Use a blow torch with a medium-size flame to caramelize the sugar.
• Wave the torch over the sugar with rapid movements, so that the sugar bubbles and browns, but does not burn.
• Spin the plate so that you can torch the entire surface of the ham.
• Repeat the coating and caramelizing process until the ham has been well-glazed (don't expect to use all of the sugar mixture).
• Serve the ham cold (don't put the sugar between the slices if you plan on doing this) or re-heat (THEN put the sugar between the slices BEFORE you caramelize it) just like the real thing!
• Don't be frightened to use the torch!
• You can to it outside, if you wish.
• Just set it on something fire proof and have fun blazing away!

HONEY MUSTARD GLAZED HAM RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Add the chopped onion, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, mustard, orange juice, and cloves to a large roasting pan, stirring to combine.
• Place the ham on the roasting rack over the liquid.
• Trim off tough outer skin, then score the remaining fat in a crosshatch pattern. Cover the entire roasting rack with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove the ham from the oven, and remove the foil. Baste the ham with the liquid, then remove the rack from the roasting pan and set aside.
• Remove all the whole cloves from the remaining liquid in the pan. Pour the remaining liquid into a pot, along with the honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk to combine.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium high heat, then simmer until thick and reduced, about 10 minutes.
• Brush the glaze on to the ham then transfer back to the roasting rack.
• Bake the ham for 30-45 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the ham reaches 145°F (65°C).
• Slice the ham, and serve.
• Enjoy!

HONEY BAKED HAM BY ALVIN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Place the ham on a cutting board, cut-side down, and score the surface in a crosshatch pattern about 1 inch wide and ½ inch deep.
• In a small bowl, combine the McCormick® Black Pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Rub the spice mixture all over the ham.
• Use the cloves to pierce the orange slices into each crosshatch section of the ham. Pierce the ham with any remaining cloves and reserve any remaining orange slices.
• Place the ham in a large bowl and cover with orange juice and garlic cloves. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan and pour the marinade around the ham to reach a depth of 2 inches. Cover with foil.
• Bake the ham for 90 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 160°F.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the honey and brown sugar and let foam and thicken into a syrup, 6-8 minutes. Whisk in the salt and McCormick Black Pepper.
• Remove the ham from the oven. Place the ham on a wire rack on top of an aluminum-foil covered sheet tray. Remove the orange slices and cloves.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). Pour the glaze over the ham and return to the oven to bake uncovered for 45-60 minutes, until the top is crispy and brown.
• Remove the ham from the oven and serve warm with your favorite holiday sides.
• Enjoy!

EASY HONEY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Combine sugar and water in a bowl and stir to dissolve sugar.
• Slice ham just shy of the bone into 1/2- to 1-inch slices. Place ham into the water and sugar solution; add more water, so ham is completely covered with liquid. Seal with plastic wrap and let soak in the refrigerator for a minimum of 48 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Combine honey and orange juice in a bowl. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
• Drain the ham slices, pat dry, and place in the roasting pan. Wrap aluminum foil around the bottom of the ham and pour 1/2 the orange juice mixture over the ham. Wrap ham completely in foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting with the remaining orange juice mixture, until a sticky, browned glaze forms, 3 to 4 hours.

HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in foil lined pan.
• In the top half of a double boiler, heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
• Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.
