anyone have a quick easy glaze/sauce for ham?

Question

I have boneless 1/4 ham and want to bake it in oven any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes. Orange juice or grapefruit juice and brown sugar mixed together, pour over ham. Put a tin foil tent over the ham, just as you would turkey at Thanksgiving. Now and then remove the ham from the oven and baste with the liquid at the bottom of the pan, soaking the ham well, before putting it back into the oven. Another delicious take on that is pineapple juice, and the liquid from a jar of marachino cherries. OR if you have all of these available, mix all the juices with a couple heaping tablespoonsful of brown sugar and pour over ham. Remember to baste it a few times during baking. Enjoy.

Answer 2

The quickest and easiest is simply marmalade. Use any favor you like. Other simple suggestions. Cloves (whole) have a sort of stem you can stick into the ham. Cutting to top does help the favors get into the meat but it a nice look to if you are good at cutting straight lines. Ground clove will get into the meat to. Pineapple slices look nice with the pieces of cloves in the center. If you do not want to have to thicken the glaze start with a thick liquid. Marmalade, honey, molasses, syrup. Clove is a standard spice but you can try a lot of the herb to cut the sweet taste, too. Most the dried packaging of spices and herbs have a little space with suggested uses. Go to the store and just read of few and try whatever strikes you fancy at the time.

HAM WITH BOURBON, MOLASSES, AND PECAN GLAZE : A recipe from Gourmet cooking, I used lat year for Christmas. It was great and different.

ingredients
1/2 cup apple juice (preferably fresh unfiltered)
1/4 cup bourbon
1 3/4 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1 cup pecans, toasted, cooled, finely ground
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
3 tablespoons dry mustard

1 whole bone-in 16- to 18-pound ham

Tangerine Chutney
Buttermilk Spoon Bread preparation
Boil juice and bourbon in small saucepan until reduced to scant 1/3 cup, about 6 minutes. Combine sugar, pecans, molasses, and mustard in bowl. Add bourbon mixture; stir to form thick paste. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)

Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Line large roasting pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving overhang on all sides. Trim off skin and all but 1/4 inch fat from ham. Place ham, fat side up, in prepared pan. Roast ham until thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130°F to 135°F, about 10 minutes per pound or 2 hours 40 minutes for 16-pound ham.

Remove ham from oven; increase oven temperature to 425°F. Lightly score fat on ham in diamond pattern. Rub glaze thickly over top and sides of ham. Return ham to oven and roast until glaze is deep brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let ham stand at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes. Serve with chutney and spoon bread.

Answer 6

I had this same problem with a couple of duck breasts I wanted to cook. I got a packet of Colmans Honey mustard sauce for chicken casserole and used half the amount of liquid it called for. You just heat this in a saucepan until it gets really thick then for the last 20 mins I basted the breasts off and on as they cooked in the oven. This worked well for me as I didn't want to go to a lot of trouble and buy ingredients I don't use all that much. Good luck!

Event Ham with Tangerine Glaze

Ingredients
1 [8 to 10-pound] smoked ham, bone-in, skin on
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 large bunch fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup [2 sticks] unsalted butter, cut in half lengthwise, then into chunks horizontally
2 tangerines, sliced thinly [remove seeds]
2 cups fresh-squeezed tangerine juice [from about 10 tangerines]
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup filtered water
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks

Method
Preheat the oven to 300°
Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop half of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours.

Method for the Glaze
Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped butter, tangerines, tangerine juice,
brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a glaze; about 30 to 40 minutes.

After ham has roasted for 2 hours, pour tangerine glaze over surface, tangerines and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick ham back in oven and continue to cook for 1 1/2 hours, basting with juices every 30 minutes.

Stick ham back in oven and roast for final 30 minutes, or until ham is dark and crispy,
and the ham is shiny with the syrupy glaze. Let ham rest on cutting board before carving.
