Maple Mustard Glazed Ham Recipes

MAPLE & MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Add the spices and bay. Bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for around 1 hr 50 mins, topping up the water level with boiling water, if necessary. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top every now and then.
• Carefully pour the liquid away (I like to keep it for making soup), then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Lift the ham into a large roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern, then stud cloves all over the ham. Can now be chilled for up to 2 days.
• Mix the glaze ingredients in a jug. Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 35 mins, basting with the pan juices 3-4 times as it bakes. Turn the pan around a few times during cooking so the fat colours evenly. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 15 mins before carving. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.

MAPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Take ham out of fridge 1 hour prior.
• Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F (140°C fan). Arrange shelf in lower third so the ham will be sitting in the centre of the oven (rather than in top half of oven).
• Place the Glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined - use whisk if needed.

BAKED HAM WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Trim excess fat off the ham and score in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 inch apart. Place in a roasting pan.
• Roast for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and mustard powder.
• When the 30 minutes are up, brush 1/3 of the glaze over the ham. Bake 20 minutes, and repeat twice with remaining glaze. Let the ham stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.

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.

BAKED HAM WITH MAPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the ham in a roasting dish with 1 cup water in the bottom of the dish. Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes. (Check the ham after 45 minutes and add more water if necessary or tent with aluminum foil if it is getting past a dark golden brown.)
• Meanwhile, combine the syrup, mustard, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire and cayenne in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
• If you used it, remove the foil from the ham and slather the ham with the glaze. Return the ham to the oven uncovered. Continue to roast, brushing the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature is between 140 and 150 degrees F, another 1 hour and 30 minutes. (If the ham starts to become too dark on the outside, tent it with aluminum foil. We are looking for a dark, sticky, flavorful glaze on the outside of the ham. Use all the glaze! Really slather it on!)
• Remove the ham from the oven, remove the foil, brush with any remaining glaze and cook, uncovered for another 5 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Serve hot or at room temperature.

COLA HAM WITH MAPLE & MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Put 2kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint in a large pan and cover with 2l cola. Add 1 chopped carrot, 1 quartered onion, 1 chopped celery stick, 1 cinnamon stick, ½ tbsp peppercorns and 1 bay leaf.
• Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for around 2 ½ hrs, topping up with boiling water if necessary to keep the gammon fully covered.
• Carefully pour the liquid away, then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
• Lift the ham into a roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern.
• Mix 150ml maple syrup, 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and a pinch of ground cloves or five-spice in a jug.
• Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 30 mins, baste half way through.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins, then spoon more glaze over the top. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.
