Baked Spiral Ham Recipes

BAKED HAM WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place ham in a large baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, ginger ale, mustard, and cinnamon together in a bowl; brush over ham. Continue baking ham until the meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 45 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place ham in a roasting pan, and press whole cloves into the top at 1 to 2 inch intervals. Pack the top with a layer of brown sugar. Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to come to a 1 inch depth. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid.
• Bake for 4 1/2 to 5 hours in the preheated oven (about 22 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature of the ham has reached 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Make sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Let stand for about 20 minutes before carving.

HOW TO COOK A SPIRAL HAM AND A GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• Let your wrapped ham sit on the counter for about an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 275F. Line two pieces of foil in different directions on top of a large baking sheet. Remove all the packaging from the ham and discard (keep the glaze if you're using that in place of the one posted here, otherwise you can discard it). Place the ham on top of the foil.
• Mix together all the ham glaze ingredients. Spread the glaze all over the top and sides of the ham and between each slice (you can use a brush but I find that using my hands is easiest). Pull up the sides of the foil and wrap the ham gently (not loose but not too tight, either), using additional foil if necessary.
• Place the ham in the oven and bake it for approximately 18 minutes per pound, opening the foil to baste with the juices a couple of times during cooking.
• Remove from the oven and baste once more with the juices (you can serve extra at the table if desired).

MOIST SPIRAL CUT HAM WITH PINEAPPLE HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Place ham, left in plastic covering from company (and netting to make handling easier), into large container. Cover with hot tap water. Let sit for 45 minutes. Empty water and refill with hot tap water for another 45 minutes. This allows the internal temperature of ham to raise before placing in oven.
• 2. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Adjust oven rack to lowest position.
• 3. Remove ham from water and all packaging from company. Be sure to remove plastic disk covering bone. Place ham inside large oven bag making sure that the cut side is at bottom of bag. Gather bag tightly around ham and tie. Place in large roasting pan. Cut 4 small slits in top of bag with knife.
• 4. Bake ham until internal temperature reaches 100 degrees (approximately 90 minutes or 10 minutes per pound).
• 5. During last minutes of ham cooking time, combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, paprika, and ginger in small saucepan. Once combined add pineapple juice and honey and cook over medium heat stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Consitency should just allow you to pour. If not, add more pineapple juice.
• 6. Remove ham from oven. Untie oven bag and roll down sides. Any juices inside bag you will want to keep within bag. Increase heat in oven to 350 degrees.
• 7. Starting at the bottom cut portion of the ham, hang pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks.
• 8. Slowly poor 1/4 of glaze over ham. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Repeat twice. You will still have glaze left over for those who may like more glaze with their ham.
• 9. After final oven glazing, remove ham from oven. Remove pineapple slices (if you wish) to a separate bowl for serving. There will be liquid in the bottom of the bag. My family likes this added to the leftover glaze to pour on individual ham slices and served with individual pineapple slices.
• 10. Place ham on platter and serve. Pour glaze and ham juices into gravy boat for service.

• 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.

COPYCAT HONEY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Remove the packaging and the plastic disk from the bottom of the ham. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut side down.
• Bake for 13-16 minutes per pound until ham reaches 135°F.
• Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
• Once the ham reaches 135°F, remove it from the oven. Turn the oven up to 425°F. Brush the ham generously with the honey glaze. (I do 2-3 coats of glaze).
• Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until ham reaches 140°F and glaze is browned.
• Remove the ham from the oven and rest at least 15 minutes before cutting. Spoon juices over the ham before serving if desired.

BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Take ham out of the refrigerator 1-2 hours before baking to allow it to come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a saucepan combine pineapple tidbits, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until mixture has thickened.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Remove ham from packaging and throw away the glaze packet and the plastic disk that covers the bone.
• Place the ham flat/cut side down, in a deep baking dish or roasting pan. I like to line my pan with aluminum foil to make for easier clean-up.
• Brush just a few spoonfuls of the glaze onto the ham, all over the outside. Reserve the remaining glaze for later.
• Cover the ham tightly with a tent of aluminum foil. This will help keep the ham from drying out.
• Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 110 degrees. Note, the ham is already cooked, so we're just just trying to reheat it.
• Remove the ham from the oven and remove foil tent (set it aside for later).
• Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush the remaining glaze all over the ham.
• Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

SUNNY'S EASY HOLIDAY SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Season with salt.
• Roll out enough aluminum foil to surround the ham and place the ham in the center of the foil. Peel back the layers of the ham and place a sprig of thyme between every other layer of the spirals. Pour half of the glaze over the ham allowing it to sink into the slices. Tightly wrap the ham in the foil and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes per pound.
• Pour the remaining half of the glaze in a small saucepot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk until small bubbles appear all over, then turn off the heat. The glaze will thicken as it rests.
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the ham from the oven. Using caution and tongs to help, peel back the aluminum foil from the top, leaving the aluminum foil on the sides and underneath the ham to catch the glaze and juices. Slather the remaining glaze all over the top of the ham and place back in the oven uncovered for 15 more minutes. Remove and let rest before slicing.
