Coffee Glazed Ham Food

MAPLE & MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Add the spices and bay. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for around 1 hr 50 mins, topping up the water level with boiling water, if necessary. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top every now and then.
• Carefully pour the liquid away (I like to keep it for making soup), then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lift the ham into a large roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern, then stud cloves all over the ham. Can now be chilled for up to 2 days.
• Mix the glaze ingredients in a jug. Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 35 mins, basting with the pan juices 3-4 times as it bakes. Turn the pan around a few times during cooking so the fat colours evenly. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 mins before carving. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.

COFFEE-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Trim all fat from ham. Place ham on rack in roasting pan and bake 30 minutes.
• Dissolve espresso in hot water in 2-cup measure. Add remaining ingredients and stir to blend. Baste ham with coffee mixture and continue to bake for 45 minutes, basting every 10-15 minutes.
• Let stand 5-10 minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve.

MOLASSES-COFFEE GLAZED HAM (OR TURKEY BREAST)

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together all ingredients except the ham until well blended.
• Reserve 1 cup molasses-coffee sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
• Place the ham in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan; pour the remaining molasses-coffee mixture evenly over the ham.
• Bake (lowest oven rack) at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reaches 140 degrees, basting with sauce about every 15-20 minutes.
• Cover loosley with lightly greased foil the last 30 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning.
• Remove ham from baking pan and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before slicing.
• Heat the reserved 1 cup molasses-coffee sauce and serve with ham.
• FOR THE TURKEY BREAST; substitute one (5-6 pound) bone-in turkey breast with skin left on.
• Season with black pepper.
• Place the turkey breast in a greased 11 x 7-inch baking pan; cover tightly with foil.
• Proceed with directions above.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour; uncover and bake for another 1 hour or more or until a thermometer reads 170 degrees, basting with molasses-coffee sauce about every 15 minutes the last hour or more of baking.
• Serve with reserved sauce.
