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.

CHEF JOHN'S HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Pour water, star anise, and cloves into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack into the pan over the water, anise, and cloves; place ham on rack. Cut 1/4-inch deep slashes 1/2-inch apart lengthwise and crosswise across the top of the entire ham.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until glaze has a thick, smooth consistency.
• Brush glaze all over ham. Continue baking ham, brushing glaze on every 20 minutes, until glaze is deep golden and ham is heated through, about 2 hours 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
• Use a kitchen torch to heat the glaze on the ham until it is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.

JALAPENO HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• For the ham: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust the oven rack to the lowest level.
• Using a sharp paring knife or box cutter, score the entire fat layer of the ham with deep cuts (being careful to not cut into the meat) in a 1/2-inch-wide diamond pattern.
• Place the ham cut side-down in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add water to the bottom of the roasting pan about 1/2 inch deep. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the honey, jam, mustard, vinegar, garlic, jalapeno, orange zest and juice and pepper to taste until combined. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the foil from the ham and spoon the pan drippings over the top; then generously brush the glaze all over. Continue baking the ham, uncovered, and repeat the basting with juices and brushing with glaze every 20 minutes until the glaze is deep golden brown and caramelized or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes per pound, about 1 hour more.
• Loosely cover the ham with foil and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature as a main course, or prepare a sandwich bar.
• For the ham sandwich bar: Arrange all the ingredients on the table or counter. I like to assemble my sandwich like this: Put cheese and then a couple of slices of ham on a bun bottom. On the bun top, dollop mustard and mayo, then top with cornichons and Pickled Red Onions. Close up the sandwich.
• To a saucepan, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, bay leaf, red pepper flakes to taste and 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Put the onions in a heatproof container and pour the boiling pickling liquid over them. Let the onions sit for 30 minutes to let cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

JIM'S HONEY GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Score the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 inch deep.
• Place on a rack in a well-greased foil-lined roasting pan.
• Add water to pan.
• In a small bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, cloves and mustard; pour over ham.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 1/2-2 hours basting with pan juices often. Add additional water to pan if necessary.
• *If you don't have a roasting pan - line a 9x13 pan with double layer foil. And proceed with recipe.

BAKED HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 or if pressed for time 300.
• Remove the rind from the ham and most of the fat if there in a lot. I always score the ham - cut it diagonally so you get the pretty diamonds. Put a clove in the center of each diamond. Place ham in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil - eliminates that nasty clean up later.
• In a small bowl, combine mustard, brown sugar and honey. Pour glaze over the ham and press into the cuts. Using toothpicks, secure slices of pineapple to the ham with a cherry in the middle of each ring.
• Bake the ham from 4 hours to all day. Baste every 30 minute with equal parts wine and ginger ale, or ginger ale only. Later in the cooking process use the pan juices for basting.
• Remove from the oven and let ham stand for 30 minutes before carving. Enjoy!
