Citrus Cherry Glazed Ham Food

CHRISTMAS HAM

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then drain. Rinse off any white starch from both the ham and the saucepan, then return the ham to the saucepan. Cover with water again.
• Stud the onion with the cloves, and add to the pan with all the remaining ingredients.
• Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 2-2½ hours, or until the ham is cooked through - the internal temperature should reach 68C/154F (you can use a meat thermometer to check). Remove from the heat and either leave to cool in the liquor or immediately transfer to a work surface.
• Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
• To prepare the gammon for glazing, cut off the string and cut away the outer rind, leaving at least half the thickness of fat underneath attached to the ham. Score a diamond pattern on the fat and stud cloves into each corner.
• To make the glaze, blend the cherry conserve using a food processor or hand-held blender to get it as smooth as possible, then put it in a saucepan with the bourbon, ginger, sugar and cinnamon.
• Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon. Brush the glaze over the ham, making sure you use it all.
• Place the ham in a roasting tin and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is well browned. Serve in slices.

AMAZING GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Let the ham sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking. This will allow it to cook evenly.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Make the glaze: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, orange zest and juice, garlic and some salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place a rack in a roasting pan. Put the ham on the rack large open-face down (so the spiral cuts are stacked on top of one another). Brush half of the glaze over the surface of the ham, getting it between the slices as much as you can.
• Pour about an inch of water in the base of the roasting pan; the water should not touch the ham. Tent the pan loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 10 minutes per pound (1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes).
• Take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Raise the oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Brush half of the remaining glaze on the ham. When the oven is up to temperature, return the ham, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook for another 15 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the ham to a platter. Serve right away, or cover with foil and take it to your gathering!
