Spiral Sliced Smoked Baked Ham Recipes

Steps:

• 1. When you buy a spiral ham that is fully cook, it can be eaten cold or hot, but I like it baked a little anyway! To serve hot: Preheat oven to 325. Remove all packaging material from ham. Place ham into pan at least 1" deep.
• 2. Add at least 1/2 cup water. It won't hurt to add a cup. Your preference! Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• 3. Heat approximately 6 minutes per pound or to an internal temperature of 120 F. Do not overcook or your ham will dry out.
• 4. GLAZE: I think a glaze is important because it adds that little extra bit of zip. This one is my own creation, so the measurements are iffy! Start with a cup or so brown sugar. Add a big squirt of mustard (about 3 Tbsp). Add a little bit of that can of crushed pineapple (about 1/3 cup). Don't make it watery because you want it to stick to the ham. Another glaze option is 1 cup brown sugar, 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup honey and 1 tsp cinnamon. OR, you could use the pineapple rounds and use toothpicks to stick the toothpick to the ham. Use a little of the juice with the brown sugar mixture. It's pretty that way, but it will be good whatever you do.
• 5. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring until it thickens, for about 10 minutes.
• 6. With 15 minutes left, remove the ham from the oven. Take your foil off and brush the glaze over the ham. Let it kind of get crusty.
• 7. Put the ham back in the oven and let cook for remaining 15 minutes.
• 8. I think the main thing about the ham is the time you cook it. Remember for a pre-cooked ham, only 6 minutes for every pound! And LOW heat!
• 9. CARVING INSTRUCTIONS: For a half ham, lay ham on a cutting board or flat surface. Using a small knife, cut the front spiral section away from the bone. Proceed with remaining slices!

Steps:

• In a small skillet, saute the onion in butter until tender; transfer to a roasting pan. Place ham on top. Pour the broth and wine or additional broth over ham. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-3 hours or until a thermometer reads 140° and ham is heated through.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Season with salt.
• Roll out enough aluminum foil to surround the ham and place the ham in the center of the foil. Peel back the layers of the ham and place a sprig of thyme between every other layer of the spirals. Pour half of the glaze over the ham allowing it to sink into the slices. Tightly wrap the ham in the foil and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes per pound.
• Pour the remaining half of the glaze in a small saucepot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk until small bubbles appear all over, then turn off the heat. The glaze will thicken as it rests.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the ham from the oven. Using caution and tongs to help, peel back the aluminum foil from the top, leaving the aluminum foil on the sides and underneath the ham to catch the glaze and juices. Slather the remaining glaze all over the top of the ham and place back in the oven uncovered for 15 more minutes. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°. Place ham directly on roasting pan, cut side down. Bake, covered, 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 hours., In a bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Spread over ham. Bake, uncovered, 20-30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140° (do not overcook).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in lower third. Stir together honey, orange zest and juice, ginger, cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Wrap ham, fat-cap-side up, tightly in parchment-lined foil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet or in a small roasting pan.
• Bake 1 hour. Unwrap, leaving foil under ham to catch juices. Brush with some of the glaze; continue baking, uncovered, basting with more glaze every 15 minutes, until heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. Brush with remaining glaze; let cool slightly. Serve warm.
