Spicy Wine Glaze For Ham Recipes

SPICY MUSTARD HAM GLAZE (NOT SWEET AT ALL)

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, wisk all ingredients together.
• 2. Pat ham dry with papertowel.
• 3. Schmear all over ham.
• I put mine in the slow cooker for 8 hours on low, or you could bake, roast, smoke, or grill the ham, depending on your preference. You could also marinate the ham before cooking, but I just didn't think about this until the morning of.
• I made a double batch of this to use as a dipping sauce as well. Delish!

HAM WITH A WINE GLAZE

Steps:

• In medium saucepan, combine wine, onion and thyme. Bring to a boil; redure heat and simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside 1 cup for serving sauce.
• Place ham in a shallow baking pan; score by making diagonal cuts, about 1/8" deep, in a diamond pattern in surface of ham. Sprinkle with pepper and rub into surface cuts with fingers. Brush ham with 3 Tbsp honey.
• Pour 1/4 c of the wine mixture over ham and bake in centre of pre-heated 350F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (not touching the bone) registers 140F or 15 to 18 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes with 1/4 cup of the remaining wine mixture.
• Remove ham from oven. Transfer to a cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Discard wine mixture in pan.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of remaining wine mixture and chicken broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cook uncovered until reduced to 1 cup. Stir cornstarch into remaining 1/2 cup wine mixture and then stir into hot wine-broth mixture. Add remaining 2 Tbsp honey and butter. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 2 minutes, stirring occasionaly.

THE BEST HAM GLAZE

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.

SPICY HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
• Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.
