Orange Fig Glazed Ham Recipes

ORANGE FIG GLAZED HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• The first step is to Score the ham. This is a very important step to break through the fat of the ham to infuse flavor. Scoring the ham also allows the glaze to penetrates into the ham giving it extra flavor. To score the ham is very simple, just place the ham on a cutting board making sure it is stable. Then, with a sharp knife start from one end close the bottom of the ham, cut about ⅓ inch all around the ham. Next, cut diagonally across those lines.
• Next, insert cloves within those cuts. I use about 30 cloves to cover the top of the ham.
• Preheat oven to 350°F ( 176.6°C).
• Place the ham on a roasting pan and add 1 ½ cup of water and cover with aluminum foil to create steam. Bake the ham for 1 ½ hour. The Aroma in the house is incredible!
• In a small saucepan add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and place it on the stove over medium-low heat.
• When the butter is melted add ½ cup orange juice and whisk to combine.
• Then, add fig preserve, ¼ cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon coarse ground mustard, and 1 tablespoon of the honey whisk until ingredients are well combined.
• Add a teaspoon of cornstarch dissolved with a teaspoon of water and whisk constantly until the mixture is thick (about 3-5 minutes). Then, carefully remove from the stove and set aside.
• Remove ham from the oven and the foil paper, then discard some of the remaining water.
• Next, Using a basting brush coat the ham with 1/3 of the glaze. Place the ham back into the oven and cook uncovered for an hour. The AROMA IS INCREDIBLE!
• After an hour has passed check with a meat thermometer for an internal temperature of 140°F ( 60°C). Increase the oven temperature to 425°F ( 218.3°C) and brush some glaze on the ham and place it in the oven for 5 minutes while keeping an eye on it, so it doesn't burn.
• Let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. The outside of the ham is going to be crispy and the inside so tender and flavorful. Enjoy!
