Sticky Marmalade Ham Recipes

ORANGE MARMALADE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham. Score the ham in a diagonal crosshatch pattern (about 1-inch apart) without cutting through into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, fattier side up, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour a 1/2-inch of water in the bottom of the pan. Cover with aluminum foil and roast, about 1 hour. Remove the foil, add more water if the water has dried up and recover loosely with the foil. Continue to bake until the ham reaches 130 degrees F, adding more water if needed to keep the roasting pan from burning, 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours more (about 15 minutes per pound).
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Whisk the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, coriander, ginger, allspice and a generous amount of black pepper in a liquid measuring cup. Spoon off about 1/4 cup of the pan juices from the ham and whisk into the glaze mixture. Brush about half of the glaze all over the ham. Continue to bake, brushing the ham with the glaze twice more until the surface of the ham is caramelized and the internal temperature in the center of the ham reads 140 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, adding more water if the bottom of the pan dries out and begins to burn, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer the ham to a cutting board or platter and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the rosemary, oranges and any additional glaze on the side.

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.

GRANDMA LORI'S MARMALADE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• HEAT ham according to package directions. COMBINE orange marmalade and brown sugar in small bowl until blended. Remove ham from oven 30 minutes before end of suggested bake time. Brush glaze over ham. BAKE an additional 30 minutes. Remove ham from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes. Spoon pan juices over ham and serve.

MARMALADE-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place ham, cut-side down, in a large baking dish. Smear 3/4 of the marmalade all over the ham. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While the ham is resting, mix remaining marmalade with horseradish mustard in a small bowl. Serve alongside ham.

CELEBRATION SPICED BAKED HAM WITH ORANGE AND MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• If the ham or gammon needs soaking, place in cold, clean water and soak overnight or for up to 24 hours.
• Boiling the Ham:.
• Place ham joint in a roomy saucepan - there should be plenty of space to add the liquids plus the vegetables and spices.
• Stick the cloves into the onion halves - 5 cloves in each half.
• Pour in the cider if using and top up with water - the liquids should just cover the ham.
• Add the onion halves, carrots, bay leaves and black peppercorns.
• Bring to the boil, and remove any scum that rises to the surface.
• Reduce the heat and cook on a rolling simmer for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes extra; a 3 lb ham will take 1 hour and 20 minutes to cook.
• Take off the heat, and allow to cool slightly.
• Take out the onions and discard the cloves. Skim out the black peppercorns and discard them as well as the bay leaves.
• Allow to cool completely; the ham can be stored in its cooking liquor in a cool place for up to 48 hours now, before baking.
• Before baking, remove the ham and set aside. Skim off any fat that has risen to the surface of the stock, it will be easy once the stock is cold.
• Take out the carrots and onions and chop them up finely, then add them back to the stock.
• The stock can be frozen now or kept in the fridge for about 3-4 days before being cooked and used for soups or a stew base.
• Baking the Ham:.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200C/400F or gas mark 6.
• If the ham has any skin, peel the skin off and discard it, trim any excess fat off the joint as well.
• Take an ovenproof dish large enough to take the ham with ease; skewer the sliced oranges with the cocktail sticks all over the surface of the ham.
• Spoon over the marmalade and then spoon the sugar over the oranges, patting it down firmly.
• Bake in the oven for between 30 and 45 minutes for a 3 lb ham - or until the glaze is sticky, glossy and the oranges are slightly caramelised.
• Serve slices of ham with some of the marmalade glaze over the top, garnished with a slice of orange. (Be careful to remove all the cocktail sticks before serving!).
• You can make extra glaze by heating up some marmalade with a little water or cider in a small saucepan, and serving it in a gravy boat.
• Wonderful with boiled or mashed potatoes, steamed greens or red cabbage. We often eat this with sauerkraut as well!

STICKY ONION MARMALADE SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Brown sausages in a pan then drain and put to one side but keeping warm.
• Melt butter in a pan, then add the onions, spring onions/green onions, and garlic.
• Cook over high heat, stirring, for 10 minutes, until onions are soft.
• Add the red wine and vinegar, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until liquid is almost evaporated.
• Add the sausages to the onion marmalade in the pan and coat thoroughly then remove from pan and serve.

MARK'S MARMALADE CHRISTMAS HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan/400°F/gas mark 6).
• Rinse the gammon in cold water. Pour the cider into a roasting pan, then top up with boiling water to a depth of about 3cm (1in). Place the gammon on a rack that sits above the surface of the liquid, making sure the liquid isn't touching the meat. Wrap a large piece of foil loosely over the meat like a tent, ensuring there is an airtight seal around the edges of the pan but that it doesn't touch the meat (creating a sort of steam balloon around the gammon).
• Bake in the middle of the oven for 50-55 minutes per 1kg (2lb 4oz) of meat. Remove from the oven, remove the foil and rest until cool enough to handle. Snip off the string and use a very sharp knife to slice off the tougher skin without removing any of the fat. Score a criss-cross pattern into the fat at 2cm (¾in) intervals. In a small bowl, mix together the marmalade, honey, mustard and orange juice and generously cover the scored fat with the mixture. Push the cloves, if using, into the scored fat in an intermittent fashion.
• Return the gammon to the oven and bake uncovered for a further 25 minutes or until the glaze is golden. Rest the meat for at least 1 hour before slicing. You can make this a few days ahead of Christmas to lighten the cooking prep on the day-it will keep in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks.
