Coffee Glazed Ham Recipes

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.

BAKED HAM WITH COFFEE AND BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

Steps:

• Place the ham in a very large stockpot and place water in the pot until it just covers the ham. Put the pot on the stove and turn the heat on high. When the water begins to boil, reduce heat to low and let the ham poach for 1 1/2 hours.
• While the ham is cooking prepare the glaze. Combine the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and black coffee in a bowl, and stir with a fork until the sugar is dissolved. Add the breadcrumbs and blend in (The glaze will become somewhat pasty as the breadcrumbs absorb the liquid.).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the ham from the pot of water and place in a large baking pan. Carve away the excess fat, if desired, and some of the rind.
• Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the ham.
• Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees, and bake the ham in the oven for 20-30 minute, or until the crust is hot and dark brown.
• Remove the ham from the pan and place on a cutting board.
• Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

• Let stand 5-10 minutes, then cut into thin slices and serve.
