Sticky Baked Ham Recipes

MAPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Take ham out of fridge 1 hour prior.
• Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F (140°C fan). Arrange shelf in lower third so the ham will be sitting in the centre of the oven (rather than in top half of oven).
• Place the Glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined - use whisk if needed.

COPYCAT HONEYBAKED HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker. Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
• At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.
• Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.
• To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture. Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. A combination of water/ham juice and bourbon is a nice alternative! Stir, and heat to a boil. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.
• Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful... don't let it burn!). Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes.
• Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

STICKY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a roasting pan with foil.
• Place the ham in the roasting pan cut side down. Roast the ham uncovered for 1 (for a 5 lb. ham) to 2 hours hours (for an 8 lb. ham).
• Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Brush the ham with the glaze; continue roasting for an additional 30 minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes. Ham should be baked to an internal temperature of 140° F. Remove from oven; let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve.

HONEY-GLAZED BAKED HAM (CROWD SIZE)

Steps:

• Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow roasting. Insert meat thermometer into ham surface at a slight angle or through the end of the ham so tip is in center of thickest part of ham and does not touch bone or fat.
• Roast 12 to 16 minutes per pound in 325°F oven or until thermometer reads 120°F.
• Remove ham from oven. Pour drippings from pan. Remove any skin from ham. Cut fat surface of ham lightly in uniform diamond shapes; insert whole clove in each diamond.
• Mix honey, mustard and ground cloves; brush on ham. Roast uncovered about 20 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 135°F.
• Cover ham with tent of aluminum foil and let stand about 10 minutes or until thermometer reads 140°F.

RITA'S SWEET HOLIDAY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix together the maple syrup, orange juice, ginger ale, brown sugar and honey. Stir in the juice from the maraschino cherries, and half of the cherries. Score the outer edge of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. Cuts should be about 1/4 inch deep. This will allow the ham to soak up the juice.
• Place the ham into an oven bag, and carefully pour the juice mixture over it, keeping all of the juice in the bag. It may look like there is too much juice, but the ham will soak it up while baking. Place the pineapples onto the top of the ham, and secure with toothpicks. Place cherries into the centers of the rings, and secure with toothpicks also. Tie the end of the bag closed with the ties provided, place in a large roasting pan, and cut a few small slits in the top of the oven bag.
• Bake the ham for 2 hours in the preheated oven. The internal temperature should be 160 degrees F (80 degrees C) when done. Be sure not to touch the bone when taking the temperature. Remove ham from bag to a serving plate, and let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

SWEET STICKY HAM GLAZE

Steps:

• Set aside Pineapple Slices.
• Mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, butter, and molasses, in saucepan and heat until bubbly stirring continuously. Continue cooking for 10 minutes (the mixture will thicken only slightly). Then add the crushed cookies.
• Continue simmering and stirring while the mixture reduces by about 1/3. This will take about 15 minutes more.
• If you still desire a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
• Continue stirring the boiling sugar/juice mixture while adding slurry. You may not need to add all of the slurry, depending upon how thick you like the glaze.
• Cook for five minutes longer. The glaze should be quite thick and will easily coat the back of a spoon.
• 30 minutes before ham is finished cooking, use toothpicks to attach slices of pineapple all over outside of ham.
• Cook ham for an additional 30 minutes.
• Pour half of glaze over ham and pineapple slices.
• Reserve additional glaze for individual servings.

ALWAYS JUICY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk beer, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard together in a bowl.
• Place ham cut side up in a large roasting pan; pour beer mixture over ham.
• Bake in the preheated oven until ham begins to brown, about 15 minutes, basting 4 to 5 times.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover roasting pan with lid or aluminum foil.
• Continue to bake until ham is heated through, about 90 minutes more, basting frequently.
• Remove lid and bake until ham is well browned, about 15 minutes more. Allow ham to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

STICKY MARMALADE HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Put the ham into a large roasting tin, then tip in 500ml water. Cover the whole thing loosely with greaseproof paper, then cover with a large sheet of foil, scrunching and sealing it around the edge of the tin. Make sure you leave some room around the ham. Put it in the oven, then turn the heat down to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and leave to cook for 5 hrs. Meanwhile, mix the marmalade with the sugar and 50ml water in a small pan, bring to the boil, then set aside and leave to cool.
• Take the ham from the oven. Be careful when you lift the foil as there will be a good amount of steam, which can burn. Once the ham has cooled just a little, remove the rind by gently prising the skin from the fat and lifting it away. Try to keep as much fat on the leg as you can as this will keep the ham moist as it roasts. Drain off most of the liquid (this is very good ham stock - keep it and use it for soup), leaving a little in the tin. Turn the oven up to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Score lines into the fat with a knife to make large diamond shapes, with the lines about 4cm apart. Brush a third of the marmalade glaze over the joint, really pushing it into the creases and cuts. Now stud the ham with the cloves by poking a clove into the corner of each diamond.
• Put a trivet into the roasting tin (if you don't have one, a few halved carrots will do), then sit the ham on top. Roast the ham, uncovered, for 45-50 mins, brushing with the remaining glaze a few times during cooking, until caramelised and delicious. Carve hot or cold.
