Patricks Holiday Bone In Ham Recipes

SMOKED HAM WITH SWEET HOLIDAY GLAZE

Steps:

• Season the ham with dry rub. Place plastic wrap over ham and put in refrigerator. Allow the seasoning to penetrate the ham overnight to give it a fuller flavor.
• Using indirect heat, preheat your grill to 250 degrees F. with hickory chips and charcoal.
• Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan and place on grill grates. Let smoke for 3 hours, making sure the temperature remains at 250 degrees F; adding more hickory chips and charcoal, as necessary. Remove to a platter.
• For the glaze:
• Place all ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat. Allow to simmer, cooking for 10 to 15 minutes, until the glaze is syrupy.
• Pour the warm glaze over the warm ham and serve immediately.
• Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

DON'T MAKE YOUR HAM UNTIL YOU READ THIS...

Steps:

• Stir together first 6 ingredients (other than the ham) in a roaster pan with a lid
• Place ham, fat side up, in roaster pan, and baste the juicy mixture over the ham.
• Cover and bake at 300 degrees for about ½ hour per pound (it's not exact, and at the low heat, it's hard to mess up but the key is LOW and SLOW!) Baste occasionally with the juices at the bottom of the pan.
• Beat together sauce ingredients (except whipping cream) and cook and stir on LOW heat until mixture thickens.
• Cool completely to room temperature, covering with saucepan lid.
• Whip ½ cup whipping cream
• When cool, fold in whipped cream.
• Chill and serve with ham.

HOLIDAY BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/4-in.-deep cuts in a diamond pattern; insert a clove in each diamond. Bake, uncovered, 1-1/4 hours., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine preserves, butter and mustard; heat through. Remove ham from oven. Spoon preserves mixture over ham. Bake, uncovered, 30-40 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°.

HONEYDEAR'S HOLIDAY PINEAPPLE BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour 1 inch of water into a baking dish.
• Place ham flat-side down into the baking dish. Slice diagonal squares over the top. Insert cloves into the diagonal points.
• Combine pie filling, brown sugar, and mustard in a bowl, mashing the strawberries as you stir.
• Mix 2 tablespoons pineapple juice from the can with cornstarch in a separate bowl; add to the strawberry mixture. Stir; final texture should be fairly thick. Spread mixture over the ham. Pour remaining pineapple juice on top, taking care not to rinse off the glaze. Tent ham with aluminum foil to help retain moisture.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting ham occasionally with the juices, until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads at least 130 degrees F (54 degrees C), 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Anchor pineapple slices with toothpicks onto ham. Broil in the oven until slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove ham from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing from the smallest end to the center.

PATRICK'S HOLIDAY BONE-IN HAM

Steps:

• Remove the outer protective plastic from the thawed (if frozen) ham. "Score" the ham slightly by taking a sharp knife and cutting criscrosses, about 1 1/2 " apart on the top and sides of the ham. These slices just need to barely cut through the outer skin -- after the ham bakes, they become much bigger.
• Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
• Using round toothpicks, attach the pineapple slices all over the outside of the ham -- reserve the juice. Using more toothpicks, secure a maraschino cherry in the middle of each pineapple slice.
• Using a large roaster pan, (or, two aluminum "throw-away type" roasting pans, one fitted inside another for added stability), place some sort of rack in the bottom to raise the ham slightly off the bottom of the pan. Pour in the water and then set the ham on the rack. Pour the pineapple juice over the ham. Brush half the ham glaze (you can use your fingers) on the ham and then cover with lid, or "tent" with aluminum foil. Mainly, you don't want the lid or aluminum foil to make much contact with the ham -- if a few toothpicks pop through, that's okay.
• Bake on the second from the lowest rack, 20 minutes per pound at 350-degrees F. (e.g., a ten-pound ham would bake for about 3 hours and 20 minutes).
• Halfway through baking time, remove the lid or aluminum foil and baste the ham with the juices in the pan, just enough to re-wet the entire ham. Return to oven covered as before.
• At the end of the baking time, re-baste it, brush on the remaining ham glaze, pour the melted butter over the ham (if using), and re-set the oven to BROIL, on HIGH if there is a broiler setting. Place the ham in the roaster pan, uncovered, under the broiler for just a few minutes to render the glaze and brown it up some. Don't worry about small black tips -- this is normal. KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE HAM IN THE BROIL MODE OR YOU CAN EASILY BURN IT UP!
• When the ham looks good, remove it from the broiler, allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes uncovered so that the juices will re-disperse within the meat, remove all toothpicks, and then slice it for serving.
• Note: Use the juices/drippings from the ham to make great-tasting Red-eye Gravy. Just pour all the drippings into a skillet and whisk in about 2 tablespoons of Wondra flour, (or cornstarch for clearer gravy), whisking constantly, over medium heat, until it thickens. If you don't have enough drippings, or if your gravy gets too thick, just add a little canned chicken broth.

GRILLED HOLIDAY HONEY HAM

Steps:

• Trim the ham of any excess fat, but leaving 1/4-inch of fat on the ham. With a sharp knife, score the fat on the top of the ham. Place the ham on a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk together the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, cumin, ginger, mustard powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the dry rub mixture for the glaze. Season the ham with the remaining dry rub. Place plastic wrap over the ham and put it in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours. Allowing the seasoning to penetrate the ham overnight will give it a fuller flavor.
• Preheat your charcoal grill to 300 degrees F for indirect heat.
• Place the baking sheet with the ham on the grill grates, with the ham flat side down. Cover the grill and let the ham cook for 2 hours.
• Heat the butter, thyme, honey, vinegar, and reserved dry rub together in a medium saucepan until the butter melts. Stir together until smooth. Brush the ham with the glaze, cover with grill lid, and grill for 30 minutes more, basting the ham every 10 minutes with the glaze. Remove to a platter, let rest for 30 minutes, then carve and serve.

GRANDMA W'S HOLIDAY HAM

Steps:

• 1. Put your ham in the pan you intend to roast it in, and then put pineapple rings (save juice) onto the ham with toothpicks to secure. Put cherries (save juice) inside the center of each pineapple ring, with toothpicks to secure. Sprinkle combined juices over the top so they drip down into the pan, and sprinkle brown sugar over all. Top with foil, and bake until heated through, basting occasionally to moisten.
• 2. Before serving, remove the toothpick secured fruits, and put into a bowl to serve on the side. Slice ham and serve.
