Honey Butter Yule Ham Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in foil lined pan.
• In the top half of a double boiler, heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
• Brush glaze over ham, and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter with thyme and let stand until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in lower third.
• Peel off and discard any rind or skin from ham, leaving 1/4 inch of fat on ham. Score fat on top of ham in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into meat. Put ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover ham with parchment paper, then cover roasting pan with foil. Bake 1 3/4 hours.
• Meanwhile, boil vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to about 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and whisk in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme butter. Let honey glaze stand until ham has baked 1 3/4 hours.
• Discard foil and parchment from ham. If there is no liquid in roasting pan, add 1 cup water (liquid will prevent glaze from burning in pan). Brush ham with half of honey glaze, then bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.
• Brush with remaining glaze and bake until glaze is deep golden-brown and ham is heated through, about 30 minutes more.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut 1 inch deep criss-crosses into the flat side of the ham. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and honey. Slather onto the ham, making sure to get in the crevices too. Insert cloves into the ham if desired. Place in a roasting pan.
• Bake for 4 hours in the preheated oven, or 20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Baste every 20 minutes with the drippings. Remove, slice, serve, savor.
