Orange Marmalade Glazed Spiral Ham
We always have ham on Easter and a few years ago I started experimenting with glazes and toppings. This orange marmalade glaze adds a sweet and crunchy edge to a delicious honey ham.
Ingredients:
One 8-10 pound bone in spiral honey ham
½ cup orange marmalade
½ cup whole-grain mustard
½ cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground allspice
Optional: orange slices and fresh rosemary for serving
Directions:
- Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Score the ham in a diagonal crosshatch pattern.
- Place the ham, flat side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Pour ½ inch water in the bottom of the pan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and add more water if the water dried up.
- Recover loosely with the foil and continue to bake until ham reaches 130 degrees adding more water as needed, 1-1 ½ more hours (about 15 minutes per pound)
- Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Whisk the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, coriander, ginger, and allspice in a liquid measuring cp. Add ¼ cup pan juices and whisk together.
- Brush half the mixture over the ham.
- Continue to bake the ham twice more until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees. Add more water to the pan as needed. Bake 40-45 more minutes.
- Transfer the ham to a cutting board or platter and let rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with orange slices, fresh rosemary, and any leftover glaze.
- Enjoy!
