Ham With Bourbon Cherry Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Remove skin from ham; trim fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Make shallow cuts in fat 1 inch apart in diamond pattern. Rub peppercorns over surface of ham; insert cloves in centers of diamonds.
• Place ham in pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch fat or bone. In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the cola, 2 tablespoons of the bourbon and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar; pour over ham. Bake uncovered 2 hours, basting with pan drippings every 15 minutes.
• In 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining 1/4 cup cola and remaining 2 tablespoons each bourbon and brown sugar. Add 2/3 cup of the preserves. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until glaze is hot and sugar is dissolved. Brush glaze over ham. Bake 1 hour 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 140°F. Transfer ham to serving platter; cover with foil. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.
• Skim fat from drippings in pan. Stir remaining 1/2 cup preserves into drippings with whisk. Transfer mixture to a saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Serve glaze with ham.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
• Score the top and sides of the ham with a small sharp knife in a crisscross pattern. Put the ham in the pan, pour 1/2 cup water or white wine into the bottom of the pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45 to 60 minutes.
• To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Transfer the cherry mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon zest.
• Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, until the ham is hot and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes longer. Remove the ham from the oven to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter and serve with the reserved glaze.

Steps:

• Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Brush with 2 tablespoons bourbon. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 hours. , In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard, marmalade, coriander and remaining bourbon; spoon over ham. Bake 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Spray shallow roasting pan or 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in shallow pan. Score outside of ham in diamond pattern; insert cloves into diamond shapes. (To make inserting cloves easier, use small paring knife or toothpick to make small holes before inserting cloves.) Insert ovenproof meat thermometer in thickest part of ham. Bake 1 hour.
• In small bowl, stir together brown sugar, mustard and bourbon. Brush 1/2 of brown sugar mixture evenly over ham.
• Bake 30 minutes. Brush with remaining brown sugar mixture. Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 140°F. If pan drippings start to burn, add up to 1/4 cup water to pan.
• Remove ham from oven; cover with foil and let stand 10 to 15 minutes for easier carving.

Steps:

• Stir together water, vinegar, corn syrup, preserves, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes.
• Brush 1/4 to 1/3 cup of this glaze over your ham about 30 minutes before it is finished baking. Stir any ham drippings into the remaining glaze and serve alongside the sliced ham.

Steps:

• Remove skin from ham, leaving 1/4 to 1/2-inch of fat on ham. Score the fat into diamond shapes and insert cloves in a decorative manner. In a saucepan, bring bourbon, molasses, and peppercorns to a simmer, to cook off the alcohol -- be careful, the alcohol will flame a little. Allow to cool. Put ham on a rack in a baking pan, add 1-inch of water, baste with the glaze and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven. Depending on weight of the ham, the time will vary. It will take approximately 20 minutes per pound. Bake for 3 hours covered and last 1/2 hour uncovered, basting every 20 minutes with glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Using a sharp knife, score the ham into a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart.
• Stud the ham with whole cloves in the center of each diamond.
• Place ham fat side up in a shallow roasting pan (for easy clean-up line pan with aluminum foil, or use a heavy-duty disposable aluminum pan).
• Bake ham for 2 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar, bourbon, orange marmalade, crushed pineapple, and prepared mustard. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
• Remove ham from the oven.
• Spoon half of the glaze/sauce over the ham.
• Decorate ham with pineapple rings, using a few toothpicks to hold ring in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring, and attach it with a toothpick.
• Return ham to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer ham to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving (be sure to remove all toothpicks).
• Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place ham fat side down on rack in shallow roasting pan.
• Bake for 2 hours, without basting, or until meat can be pierced easily with a fork.
• Remove ham from oven and let cool.
• When ham is cool enough to handle, cut away rind with a sharp knife.
• Score ham by cutting deeply through fat until you reach the meat.
• Make incisions about 1 inch apart, crosswise and lengthwise.
• Baste ham on all sides with 1/2 cup of bourbon.
• Combine dark brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/4 cup of bourbon and pat the mixture into the fat.
• Stud intersections with whole cloves.
• Arrange orange sections (or pineapple chunks) attractively.
