Ham With A Wine Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325F.
• 2. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan; pour in 2 cups water.
• 3. Cover pan tightly with foil; roast for 2 hours, adding more water if necessary to maintain level.
• 4. If ham has skin, slide a sharp knife under the skin and lift off. (Discard skin or save for making ham broth for split pea soup).
• 5. Trim fat layer to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Discard trimmed fat.
• 6. Diagonally score fat to form a diamond pattern.
• 7. In a small saucepan, combine honey, red wine, pineapple juice, butter, pepper, nutmeg, cloves and ginger over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Stir in Dijon mustard; let cool slightly.
• 8. Brush enough of the glaze over ham to cover; stud center of each diamond pattern with clove.
• 9. Roast ham, uncovered and brushing several times with remaining glaze, for 45 to 60 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center registers 140°F. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 15 minutes.
• 10. To carve ham, cut down to bone into 1/4-inch thick slices. With knife parallel to bone, cut off slices along bone. Turn remaining meaty portion up; repeat carving.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and trim off any skin. If your ham is not a spiral-cut ham, use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat.
• Place the ham, flat side down, on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup water into the pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound-reduce the time to 10 minutes per pound for a spiral-cut ham).
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, orange zest and juice, Dijon, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, onion powder and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half (you should have 1 cup glaze), 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until the ham is ready.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush half of the glaze over the ham. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add 1 cup water. Return the ham to the oven and roast for 30 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 10 minutes (two more times) before returning to the oven.
• Let the ham cool for 15 minutes before thinly slicing.
