Apple Butter Ham Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• For the apple butter:.
• In a large stockpot, combine the apples with the apple juice. Cook on low heat until the apples are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and pass through a fine sieve. Pour the puree back in the stockpot. Bring to a simmer and add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook on low heat for about 1 1/2 hours until it's reduced by half and thickens up, stirring regularly and skimming the surface if necessary. Remove from heat and let cool.
• For the ham:.
• Put the ham, carrot, celery, leek, onion, and garlic in a large stockpot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 2 hours. Drain and place into a roasting pan.
• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the apple butter, honey, and Dijon mustard. Peel off the skin of the ham and brush it with apple butter mixture. Pour the water in the bottom of the pan. Place in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, making sure to baste it with the sauce every 15 minutes during cooking process. Remove the ham from the grill and let sit for 10 minutes before carving.
• Cook's Note:.
• The apple butter is great on its own, with ice cream, yogurt or for breakfast.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the ham with a paring knife through the skin and fat in a tight crosshatch pattern. Place the ham, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Bake 1 hour.
• 2. Whisk the apple butter, mustard, brown sugar, syrup and cloves in a bowl until smooth. At this point you could put in small sauce pan and heat to melt the flavors together. Brush the ham with half the glaze and bake for 15 more minutes.
• 3. Brush remaining glaze over ham and bake another 15 minutes or until ham is heated through. NOTE: At this time you may add sliced pineapple and maraschino cherries, using tooth picks to keep in place.
• 4. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the ham with a paring knife through the skin and fat in a tight crosshatch pattern. Place the ham, fat side up, in a large roasting pan. Bake 1 hour. Whisk the apple butter, mustard, brown sugar, syrup and cloves in a bowl until smooth. Brush the ham with half the glaze and bake for 15 more minutes. Brush remaining glaze over ham and bake another 15 minutes or until ham is heated through. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Score the ham with a paring knife through the skin and fat in a tight crosshatch pattern. Place the ham, fat-side up, in a large roasting pan. Bake 1 hour, 30 minutes.
• Make the glaze: Whisk the apple butter, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar and cloves in a bowl until smooth. After 1 hour, 30 minutes, brush the ham all over with some of the glaze and bake 20 more minutes. Add the apples to the pan, cut-side up, and bake, brushing the ham with more of the glaze every 20 minutes, until the ham is crisp and the apples are tender, 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes. (Turn the apples cut-side down in the last 20 minutes.)
• Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted apples.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• To make the glaze, add the apple cider, brown sugar, bourbon, pumpkin pie spice and cloves to a large pot. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, while stirring, until the liquid reduces and becomes slightly thickened like a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the butter and stir to melt. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out plenty of aluminum foil to wrap the ham in and create a bed for it. Place the ham in the center of the aluminum foil and pull the sides up around it, leaving the top exposed. Pour over half the glaze, getting it into the spirals. Finish tightly wrapping the ham and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with water, but do not let it touch the bottom of the ham.
• Cook until the internal temperature reaches about 140 degrees F (gauge 15 to 20 minutes per pound). Remember, it is already cooked, so you just need to bring it to temperature without drying it out.
• Remove the ham and raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Pull back the aluminum foil (watch out--it's steamy and hot!!). With a brush and the remaining glaze, slather the top of the ham, allowing the glaze to get into any creases of the spiral you see. Place back in the oven uncovered but still sitting in the foil and roasting pan, an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and rest 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine jelly, mustard, lemon juice and nutmeg; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; set aside. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 20 minutes per pound or until a thermometer reads 140°. During the last 30 minutes of baking, brush with glaze twice. Garnish with apple rings if desired.

Steps:

• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake until a thermometer reads 150F (about 15 minutes per pound).

• In a saucepan bring the apple cider and dried apples to a boil over medium heat.
• Boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1-1/2 cups (this should take about 8-10 minutes).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cider vinegar and mustard until well blended.
• Add to the cider mixture; simmer sauce until reduced to about 2-1/4 cups, stirring occasionally (this shoud take about 5-6 minutes) the sauce can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated.
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Cut 1/2-inch slices from the bone, and place into a glass baking dish.
• Spoon the sauce over the slices.
