Whole Ham Glazed With Red Wine And Spices Recipes

AROMATIC SPICED HAM

Steps:

• Place the gammon in a large saucepan. Add all the ingredients for the ham to the pan, adding more water if the ham isn't covered. Bring to the boil, before reducing the heat to a simmer and partially covering the pan. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, approximately 1 hour a kilo simmering time, plus an extra 15 minutes.
• When you are ready to glaze the ham, preheat oven to 440 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Remove the ham from the liquid and sit the ham on a board. Strip off the rind, and a little of the fat layer if it's very thick, and cut a diamond pattern into the remaining fat with a sharp knife in lines of about 3/4-inch apart. Stud each diamond with a clove. Put the jelly, cinnamon, paprika and red wine vinegar into a saucepan and whisk together over a high heat bringing it to the boil. Let the pan bubble away so that the glaze reduces to a syrup-like consistency.
• Place a layer of foil over a roasting tray big enough to hold the ham. Place the ham on top of the foil. Pour the glaze over the clove-studded ham and then transfer it to the oven. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the glazed fat is burnished. Allow the meat to rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving it.

AMAZING GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. This will allow it to cook evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Make the glaze: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, orange zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place a rack in a roasting pan. Put the ham on the rack large open-face down (so the spiral cuts are stacked on top of one another). Brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, getting it between the slices as much as you can.
• Pour about an inch of water in the base of the roasting pan; the water should not touch the ham. Tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes per pound (1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes).
• Take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush half of the remaining glaze on the ham. When the oven is up to temperature, return the ham, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook for another 15 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the ham to a platter. Serve right away, or cover with foil and take it to your gathering!

HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut long, shallow lines around the surface of the ham in a crossing patter, scoring the ham to create a diamond pattern all over the outside of the ham. Place ham into a roasting pan.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Stir honey, brown sugar, red wine, and black pepper with the melted butter; cook and stir until ingredients blend into a glaze, about 10 minutes. Spread glaze in an even layer over the ham, reserving some of the glaze to apply while the ham roasts.
• Cook ham in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), glazing every 10 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes.

BROWN-SUGAR-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F If desired, score ham by making diagonal cuts 1-inch apart in fat in a diamond pattern. Place on rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer. Thermometer should not touch bone. Bake until thermometer registers 125°F For rump, allow 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours; for shank, allow 1-3/4 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, for glaze, in a medium saucepan stir together sugar, vinegar, and mint sprigs. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Boil gently, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat. Remove and discard mint. Brush ham with some of the glaze.
• Baked ham for 20 to 30 minutes more or until thermometer registers 135°F, brushing three more times with additional glaze. Sprinkle with pepper. Let stand 15 minutes before carving. (The meats temperature will rise 5 degrees during standing to the safe temperature of 140°F.) Serve meat on a platter layered with green tops of uncooked leeks and green onions, if desired. Sprinkle with pepper, if desired. Bring any remaining glaze to boiling and serve with ham. Makes 16 to 20 servings.

HAM WITH A WINE GLAZE

Steps:

• In medium saucepan, combine wine, onion and thyme. Bring to a boil; redure heat and simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside 1 cup for serving sauce.
• Place ham in a shallow baking pan; score by making diagonal cuts, about 1/8" deep, in a diamond pattern in surface of ham. Sprinkle with pepper and rub into surface cuts with fingers. Brush ham with 3 Tbsp honey.
• Pour 1/4 c of the wine mixture over ham and bake in centre of pre-heated 350F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (not touching the bone) registers 140F or 15 to 18 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes with 1/4 cup of the remaining wine mixture.
• Remove ham from oven. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Discard wine mixture in pan.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of remaining wine mixture and chicken broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cook uncovered until reduced to 1 cup. Stir cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup wine mixture and then stir into hot wine-broth mixture. Add remaining 2 Tbsp honey and butter. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 2 minutes, stirring occasionaly.
