Baked Ham With Crumb Topping
Description
This recipe starts by baking a bone-in spiral-sliced ham at a low temperature inside an oven bag to retain moisture and heat it evenly. A glaze is prepared from brown sugar, spicy brown mustard, balsamic vinegar, dry mustard, ginger, and cloves, then simmered to thicken and cool.
After the initial baking and resting, the ham is brushed with the glaze and coated thoroughly in a crumb topping of panko breadcrumbs, minced fresh parsley, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. This topping crisps during a final bake at a higher temperature, creating a textured, flavorful crust that contrasts with the moist, tender meat.
This ham can serve about eight adults with generous slices. It suits holiday meals or special occasions, offering both ease of carving due to spiral slicing and rich layered flavors from the glaze and crumbs.
For best results, store leftovers refrigerated for up to four days, prepare the glaze in advance, or freeze the baked ham wrapped for up to six months.
Ingredients
- 8-9 pound ham bone-in, spiral sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup brown mustard spicy
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons mustard dry
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup parsley minced, fresh
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set wire rack in sheet. Place 12-inch square of foil in center of rack. Set ham on foil, flat side down, and cover it with oven bag, tucking bag under ham to secure it. Let ham sit at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours.
- Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Bake ham to 100 degrees, about 2 hours. (Lift bag to take temperature; do not puncture.)
- Meanwhile, combine sugar, brown mustard, vinegar, dry mustard, ginger, and cloves in medium saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool while ham cooks.
- Combine panko, parsley, oil, salt, and pepper in bowl. Remove ham from oven, discard oven bag, and let ham cool for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
- Brush ham all over with brown sugar-mustard mixture. Press panko mixture against sides of ham to evenly to coat. Bake until crumbs are deep golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer ham, flat side down, to carving board and let rest for 30 minutes. Carve and serve.
Notes
- Choose a bone-in shank-end ham for more flavor and easier carving, or a butt-end ham for leaner meat.
- Spicy brown mustard can be substituted with Dijon mustard.
- Panko breadcrumbs provide a crispy topping and can be store-bought or homemade.
- This recipe yields enough for about 8 adults; estimate 3/4 pound per person for bone-in ham.
- Store leftover ham covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze cooked ham wrapped properly for 6 months.
- The glaze can be made one day ahead and brought to room temperature before use.
