THE BEST HAM GLAZE
A perfectly glazed ham is often the centerpiece of many holiday celebrations, including Easter and Christmas. Guests swoon over the juicy, savory slices on their plate. The most beautiful ham will have a tangy, sticky-sweet and shiny glaze. After tinkering with many ingredients, we landed on a knock-your-socks-off combination that includes brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and cloves for sweet, warm and slightly smoky notes. Dijon and a splash of apple cider vinegar add tang and zip while soy sauce gives it a great depth of flavor. Rounding out the glaze with brightness are the zest and juice of an orange. We hoped to only brush the ham once during baking, but test after test proved that glazing two more times during the last 30 minutes in the oven brings out the best flavors and creates the most magical sheen.

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.

Steps:
- If brining the ham, combine salt and white sugar with 2 quarts water in a pot large enough to fit the ham comfortably. Stir well to dissolve. Add ham, cover, and place in refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Remove, rinse well, and dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine raisins and rum and allow to sit while ham cooks, at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place brown sugar, sage, mustard, lemon zest, garlic, salt and peppercorns in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade, and process until smooth.
- Using a sharp knife, score entire surface of ham in a crosshatch pattern, cutting down just through skin to the flesh underneath. (If you are cutting to the right depth, the skin will spread apart a bit as you cut.) Rub outside of ham all over with spice mixture, pressing it gently into crosshatch spaces between the skin. Put roast on a rack in a large roasting pan and place in oven.
- After 20 minutes, reduce oven setting to 300 degrees. After 1 hour, begin painting ham every 15 minutes or so with maple syrup. Continue roasting until the very center of ham reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2 to 2 1/2 hours total cooking time. (Begin checking at 1 1/2 hours to be sure.) To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the absolute center of the roast, let it sit for 5 seconds, then take the reading.
- While ham is cooking, place cider in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, and simmer vigorously until liquid is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes.
- When ham is done, remove it from roasting pan, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Tip roasting pan to the side so you can spoon off all the fat from pan juices, then place pan on stove over medium-high heat. Add reduced cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping bottom of pan to free the browned bits. Skim any film off surface and season liquid as needed with salt and pepper. Add rum-soaked raisins, along with any remaining rum, and stir to combine. Pour into a gravy boat.
- Carve ham into thick slices, drizzle with raisin-cider sauce and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

Steps:
- Instead of soaking the ham overnight to get rid of excess salt, follow my short-cut method.Weigh the joint and calculate the poaching time, allowing 25 minutes for every 450g/1lb, and put the joint in a very large pan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil, then drain off all the water.
- Pour 600ml/1 pint of the cider into the pan and then pour in enough cold water to cover the joint. Add the onions, carrots, bay leaves, parsley stalks, cloves and peppercorns. Bring slowly to the boil, turn down the heat, then cover and simmer very gently for the calculated time. Allow the joint to cool in the stock (overnight is ideal).
- Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/ fan 160C. Lift the joint out of the stock, then strain the stock and measure 500ml/18fl oz. Strip the rind off the joint and score the fat in a diamond pattern. Put the joint in a heavy roasting tin (if it's wibblywobbly, prop it up with a wad of scrunched-up foil), pour over the remaining cider and braise in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting frequently until beginning to brown. If the pan becomes dry, splash in some cider or water to cover the bottom of the tin.
- Meanwhile, start the sauce. Put the milk, parsley stalks and bay leaves into a saucepan, bring to the boil and leave to infuse for as long as you have.
- Remove the joint from the oven and raise the temperature to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Put the orange halves around the joint. Melt the marmalade, brush it generously all over the gammon and oranges, then return to the oven for 10 minutes to glaze. Lift the gammon and oranges on to a serving dish, cover and keep warm while you finish the sauce.
- Sprinkle the flour into the roasting tin and scrape and stir around to mix with the juices. Place on the hob and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring, to cook out the flour.Gradually pour in the measured stock and whisk well. Now add the strained infused milk and bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain into a clean saucepan, stir in the chopped parsley leaves and cream, then heat through gently and check the seasoning. Pour into a warm jug and serve with the joint.
