Dijon Glazed Ham Food

EASY DIJON MAPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
• Remove the skin from the ham, leaving as much of the fat on as possible.
• Add the ham to the baking dish and score the top (fat side up) with a sharp knife in a diagonal cross pattern (instructions in blog post above).
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, the dijon mustard, the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, shallots (if using), olive oil, rosemary and thyme until the glaze is smooth and everything is incorporated.
• Pour the glaze over the ham, brushing the glaze into the cracks on the top of the ham.
• Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (or 63 degrees Celsius). Use a meat thermometer or an instant read meat thermometer to ensure the ham isn't over-cooked or under-cooked.
• Baste the ham 3 times through cooking (after 15-20 minutes) by drizzling the glaze from the bottom of the pan over the ham while it roasts.
• Let the ham rest covered with aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

GLAZED HAM WITH DIJON-PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Mix sugar, syrup and mustard until blended. Use paring knife to make shallow even diagonal cuts across top of ham in one direction. Repeat, making slits in opposite direction to form diamond shapes.
• Insert cloves where cuts meet. Place ham on rack in shallow pan. Place cherries, cut-sides down, on surface of ham.
• Bake 2 hours or until ham is heated through, brushing occasionally with 1/2 cup syrup mixture after 1-1/2 hours. About 10 min. before ham is done, mix remaining syrup mixture with cornstarch and pineapple in saucepan; bring to boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir on medium-low heat 5 min. or until thickened.
• Slice ham. Serve with sauce.

DIJON-GLAZED BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325ºF.
• Place ham in shallow pan. Bake 1 hour. After about 45 min., bring remaining ingredients to boil in saucepan; simmer on medium-low heat 5 min., stirring occasionally.
• Spoon 1/2 cup pineapple glaze over ham; bake 40 min. or until ham is heated through (160ºF). Keep remaining glaze warm.
• Slice ham. Serve topped with remaining glaze.

DIJON-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F.
• Place ham, fat side up, in roasting pan sprayed with cooking spray. Diagonally score surface of ham; cover with foil.
• Bake 1 hr. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients until blended.
• Remove and discard foil from ham; brush with about 1/3 of the jam mixture. Bake, uncovered, 1 hr. or until ham is heated through (140ºF), brushing with remaining jam mixture every 20 min.
• Transfer ham to cutting board; tent with foil. Let stand 15 min. before carving ham to serve.

SLOW-COOKER HAM WITH APRICOT-DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together the jam, mustard, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to melt the sugar, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and reserve.
• Add 3/4 cup water to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the ham in the insert on its side, and brush lightly with the glaze. Cover, and cook on low until the ham is hot throughout, 6 to 7 hours. Refrigerate the remaining glaze.
• When the ham has about 10 minutes left to cook, reheat the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
• Transfer the ham to a carving platter or serving dish, and brush with enough glaze to make a glossy, sticky coating. Slice, and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

DIJON MARMALADE GLAZED BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line a large baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place ham cut side down in center of pan.
• Trim any rind or excess fat from ham with a sharp knife. Score outside of ham with a sharp knife in a decorative diamond pattern (as shown) and insert a whole clove into each diamond point. Cover pan and ham with more heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake ham for 1 1/2 hours.
• Make glaze: Melt orange marmalade in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Whisk in Dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons water. Bring mixture to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, until glaze thickens. Set glaze aside.
• Remove ham from oven and raise oven temperature to 425°F Remove aluminum foil covering ham and brush warm glaze all over ham.
• Return ham to oven and bake uncovered until glaze caramelizes, about 30 minutes. Remove ham from oven, tent loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm, and let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

BALSAMIC AND DIJON GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Remove the ham from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours before it needs to go in the oven. This will allow the meat to come a bit closer to room temperature before it goes into the oven.
• Place the ham on a large cutting board and score the ham with cuts, 1/2 inch deep in a diamond pattern. If that sounds confusing, look down at the ham and start in a straight line from one end to the other making a half inch deep cut all the way across and over the top of the ham. Then repeat this cust, about an inch apart, slicing the ham from one side to the other. Then turn the ham 180 degrees and repeat, straight cuts, ll the way across the ham. It should resemble a checkerboard when you are finished. This process allows the glaze to penetrate deeper into the ham. Is is well-wort the effort and it only takes a few minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325. Line a large roasting pan or a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the ham cut side down in the pan. (I skipped the foil and put into my big turkey pan) Roast 45 to 50 minutes. While the ham begins roasting, combine the sugar, vinegar, and mustard in a small cup or bowl (I skipped the sugar when I made it). Set aside next to the stove.
• Remove the ham from the oven and baste it, 10 minutes more, baste again, 10 minutes more, baste it generously with all remaining glaze one last time and finish roasting it for 5 more minutes. An average of 10 minutes cooking time per pound of ham should be just right.
• Transfer the ham to a large platter and let rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

HONEY-DIJON HAM

Steps:

• Place ham on a greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 50-60 minutes. Combine honey, mustard and sugar; brush about 3 tablespoons over ham. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140° and ham is heated through. Stir into remaining glaze; heat through and serve with the ham.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE-ORANGE DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Place ham in a roasting pan, bake at 325°F for two hours.
• Meanwhile, stir remaining ingredients together in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• When ham has baked two hours, brush the ham with the glaze, continue doing so every 10 minutes while baking for another 30 minutes.

CHERRY DIJON-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Drain cherries, reserving syrup.
• Combine the cherry syrup, wine, sugar, 2 tablespoons of the mustard, the cornstarch and juice concentrate in small saucepan.
• Cook on medium-high heat until mixture thickens and starts to boil, stirring constantly.
• Remove 1/3 cup of the sauce; reserve for later use.
• Stir cherries into remaining sauce; cover.
• Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Brush ham with remaining 1/4 cup mustard.
• Bake ham as directed on package (I think it says 20 minutes per pound), brushing occasionally with the reserved 1/3 cup sauce for the last 30 minute of the baking time.
• Meanwhile, cook cherry sauce on medium-low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Carve ham.
• Serve ham slices topped with the warm cherry sauce.
