Who has a good ham recipie?

Question

I am cooking a ham for christmas and i would like a new way to spruce it up. Any good ideas? Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

The best I have ever had was cloves stuck in it, with pineapples all over it, cooked in a mix of ginger ale. Then just about a few min before it was done brown sugar and honey on top and put in broiler till it carmelized ?

Answer 2

1/4 cup whole cloves
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 cups honey
2/3 cup butter
In a sauce pan heat the corn syrup, honey and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking ham. Baste ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. During the last 4 to 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to caramelize the glaze. Remove from oven, and let sit a few minutes before serving.

Answer 3

this is what i do


INGREDIENTS
1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup honey
1/3 large orange, juiced and zested
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham in a roasting pan.
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
Bake ham in preheated oven uncovered for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven, and brush with glaze. Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes.

Answer 4

Mix honey with maple syrup and brown sugar into a thick paste, and use that as a glaze. You can also add crushed ginger cookies to that, after you brush the glaze on.
Alton Brown made it on Good Eats once, and it was really good when I made it at home.
You can find the recipe on www.foodnetwork.com - just search for glazed ham or holiday ham.

For cherry sauce, in a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth; add cherries. Bring to boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice and extract. Serve with ham.

For glaze, combine brown sugar, juice and mustard; spoon some over ham. Bake 30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140*, basting occasionally with remaining glaze. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
