Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Ham Glaze Recipe
Description
This recipe guides preparing a large smoked ham by scoring its surface in a diamond pattern to allow glaze absorption. The glaze combines brown sugar, brandy, mustard, and spices like cumin, coriander, allspice, and cayenne for warmth and complexity. Half the glaze is rubbed on before baking at 350°F for 45 minutes, then the remaining glaze is applied, and the ham returns to the oven for up to 75 minutes more.
The extended baking time creates a caramelized, dark crust while warming the ham through evenly. The glaze ingredients balance sweetness, acidity, pungency, and mild heat, giving the ham a flavorful outer layer that contrasts its smoky, salty interior.
Leftover ham can be refrigerated in an airtight container and consumed within 3-4 days. This recipe emphasizes slow roasting and glazing to elevate pre-smoked ham for a festive or family meal.
Ingredients
- 8-10 pounds smoked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and lay the ham on it flat-side-down.
- Score the ham with cuts one inch apart and 1/4-inch deep. Do this in two directions creating a grid pattern over the entire surface of the ham.
- In a medium bowl, mix all the remaining ingredients for the glaze. Rub half the glaze over the surface of the ham and bake for 45 minutes.
- Pull the ham out of the oven. Rub the rest of the glaze over ham and place it back in the oven for another 45-75 minutes, or until the exterior is dark and crusty and the ham is warmed through.
Notes
- All fat is left intact, so nutritional values include the entire ham without trimming.
- Store leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain quality.
