Spicy Wine Glaze For Ham Food

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.

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.

BAKED HAM WITH SPICED CHERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil and spray it with nonstick spray.
• Score the top and sides of the ham with a small sharp knife in a crisscross pattern. Put the ham in the pan, pour 1/2 cup water or white wine into the bottom of the pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45 to 60 minutes.
• To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Transfer the cherry mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil until the glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon zest.
• Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top with 1/4 cup of the glaze. Bake, uncovered, until the ham is hot and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes longer. Remove the ham from the oven to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter and serve with the reserved glaze.

SPICY WINE GLAZE FOR HAM

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a small saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
• Poke holes in your ham with a cutlery fork so the ham will absorb more of the glaze.
• Pour the glaze over the ham and bake at 350 degrees until done, basting at least twice during cooking.
• NOTE: If your ham is pre-cooked or smoked, you only need to cook long enough to re-heat it. Save the juices for any leftover ham you might have. You can freeze the ham with some of the cooking juices in ziplock bags. They re-heat wonderfully.

AROMATIC SPICED HAM

Steps:

• Place the gammon in a large saucepan. Add all the ingredients for the ham to the pan, adding more water if the ham isn't covered. Bring to the boil, before reducing the heat to a simmer and partially covering the pan. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, approximately 1 hour a kilo simmering time, plus an extra 15 minutes.
• When you are ready to glaze the ham, preheat oven to 440 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Remove the ham from the liquid and sit the ham on a board. Strip off the rind, and a little of the fat layer if it's very thick, and cut a diamond pattern into the remaining fat with a sharp knife in lines of about 3/4-inch apart. Stud each diamond with a clove. Put the jelly, cinnamon, paprika and red wine vinegar into a saucepan and whisk together over a high heat bringing it to the boil. Let the pan bubble away so that the glaze reduces to a syrup-like consistency.
• Place a layer of foil over a roasting tray big enough to hold the ham. Place the ham on top of the foil. Pour the glaze over the clove-studded ham and then transfer it to the oven. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the glazed fat is burnished. Allow the meat to rest in a warm place for at least 15 minutes before carving it.

GLAZED HAM WITH PEACH-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Use a serrated knife to score the top of the ham in a diamond pattern. Press whole cloves into the ham and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
• Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the preheated oven, or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Cover with aluminum foil if the ham starts to look dry.
• While the ham is baking, mix together the cinnamon, mustard and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a cup or small bowl. Set aside. In a saucepan over medium heat, mix together the remaining brown sugar, cider vinegar, peach nectar and peach preserves. Bring to a boil and then stir in the sliced peaches, ginger, cherry pepper and the cinnamon stick. Simmer until the peaches are tender and the sauce has thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the ham from the oven and brush liberally with the mustard glaze. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and return the ham to the oven, uncovered.
• Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until glaze is bubbly. Allow the ham to rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving. Serve with hot Peach-Ginger sauce.

CITRUS-SPICE GLAZED HAM

Cover and bake until a thermometer reads 130°, 2-1/2 to 3 hours., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup orange juice and Chinese five-spice powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and honey. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and remaining orange juice until smooth; stir into brown sugar mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. , Remove ham from oven. Brush with half of the glaze.

Brush remaining glaze over ham halfway through cooking time.

Turn the heat down to low, and simmer gently, covered, for 2½ hrs. Top up with water, if you need to, while it's simmering.

Increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and roast for a further 15-20 mins until you get a sticky golden crust. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving. Drizzle over more glaze from the tin to serve, if you like. Can be made ahead and chilled for up to four days.

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!

GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of oven and preheat to 325°F.
• Using a sharp knife, score the fat covering the ham in a 3/4-inch-wide diamond pattern (do not cut into the meat). Place the ham in a 10-by-14-inch roasting pan and add 1 cup water. Roast the ham for 2 hours.

Add the orange slices and fresh ginger, and cook until the orange slices are tender, about 2 minutes.
• Once the ham has been in the oven for two hours, drape the glazed orange slices over the ham, securing them with toothpicks, and brush the ham and oranges with about 1/2 cup of glaze, reserving the remainder for serving. Continue roasting the ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F, about 30 minutes.
• To Serve:
• Remove the toothpicks from the ham and arrange the orange slices on a platter. Slice the ham and arrange on top of the oranges. Warm the remaining glaze and serve alongside.
