Peach Ginger Glazed Ham Recipes

PEACH GINGER GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham if needed. Score the ham through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Place the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the pan. Roast the ham until it reaches an internal temperature of about 130 degrees F, about 2 1/2 hours or 15 minutes per pound.
• Meanwhile, toast the coriander seeds in dry skillet until fragrant, about 1 minute. Cool and crack in a mortar and pestle or on a cutting board with a small pan. Combine the peach preserves, lemon juice, ginger and coriander in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Strain into a small bowl.
• Remove the ham from the oven when it has reached 130 degrees F internally. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Spoon or brush some of the glaze all over the ham. Add water as needed to the bottom of the pan. Return the ham to the oven and roast, basting every 10 minutes with the remaining glaze, until glossy, glazed and well browned, about 45 minutes more.

PEACH GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Place ham in a large roasting pan and bake as directed on the wrapping, about 18 minutes per pound. Combine remaining ingredients, in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Remove the ham from the oven and score the skin in a diamond pattern. Spoon the glaze over, spreading to coat completely. Return the ham to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes longer.
• Chef's Note: To make really special, take small can pineapple rings, drain syrup and place pineapple rings on top of the glazed ham. Secure the pineapple to the ham with wooden cocktail sticks. Then take small jar of cocktail cherries and place 1 cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and continue to baste with the glaze during the cooking process. This makes a good looking ham for a summer buffet table.

GINGER-PEACH GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Prepare the ham: Combine 3 gallons hot water, the salt, brown sugar, juniper berries, peppercorns, ginger and bay leaves in a large nonreactive container or pot and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Let the brine cool. Meanwhile, stand the ham, cut-side down, on a cutting board and score the skin with a sharp knife in a crosshatch pattern. Place the ham in the brine, cover and refrigerate at least 24 hours or up to 2 days.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the ham from the brine and dry completely. Strain the brine, reserving the spices. Press some of the juniper berries and peppercorns onto the flat cut side of the ham. Scatter the bay leaves in a large roasting pan and place a rack in the pan. Stand the ham, cut-side down, on the rack and roast 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 and roast 2 more hours.
• Make the glaze: Whisk the peach preserves, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, ginger, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Brush the ham with half of the glaze; continue roasting until deep golden, about 1 more hour. Brush the ham with the remaining glaze, turn it on its side and roast until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 155 and the skin is crisp, 30 to 45 more minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest 20 minutes before carving.
• Skim the fat from the roasting pan juices and discard the bay leaves. Stir to make a sauce. Carve the ham and serve with the sauce.
