Maple Dijon Boneless Spiral Ham Food

DIJON MAPLE GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place ham in a roasting pan and pour about 3/4 cup water into the bottom of pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until heated through, soft and tender.
• Make the glaze:
• Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan until smooth and heat over medium-low to medium heat until simmering. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
• When ham is heated through, remove the aluminum foil, and pour or brush the glaze over the top to cover completely. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Return the ham to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until glaze is caramelized and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with desired fixings.

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.

MAPLE GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Remove ham from packaging and enclose it securely, flat side down, in a very large piece of heavy duty foil. Close the foil so that it will open from the top. Place it flat side down in a large baking dish or roasting pan and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes per pound or until heated through and the internal temperature of the ham reads 140 degrees F when measured with an instant read thermometer.
• Meanwhile, whisk together glaze ingredients in a saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Bring to a low boil then reduce the heat to LOW and allow to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened and syrupy. Remove from the heat and set aside. The glaze will continue to thicken as it rests.
• After the initial cooking time, remove the pan from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Open the foil to expose the ham and pour about ¾ of the glaze evenly over the top and sides. Return the uncovered pan to the oven for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or just until the glaze has caramelized (watch carefully to avoid burning).
• Remove from the oven and allow it to rest in the foil for 10 minutes. Spoon any glaze that has been captured in the foil over the ham as it rests and then brush it all over with the reserved glaze.
