Maple-glazed ham is one of the easiest roasts for a holiday dinner. Simply pick up a city ham, the type that\u2019s wet-cured in brine and fully cooked. Then reheat it in the oven. It’s seriously that easy!<\/p>\n
You don’t have to add a caramelized, sticky glaze, but we think it makes spiral ham<\/a> taste much better. This maple glaze requires just a few simple ingredients: maple syrup, brown sugar, prepared mustard, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. The glaze elevates any old ham into one with a gorgeous sheen and bold flavor.<\/p>\n Spiral-cut ham is the way to go with this recipe. You get all the benefits of cooking a bone-in ham, without any of the trouble when it comes time to carve. There\u2019s no need to remove the ham rind, either. The only downside is that pre-sliced hams can dry out more quickly than other types of ham. To keep the glazed ham moist, pay attention to the temperature to avoid overcooking. We also recommend that you cover the ham during the initial baking step to keep all the moisture inside.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 300\u00b0F. Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake until a thermometer reads 130\u00b0, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> For the best results, let the ham sit on the counter, covered, for at least 30 minutes (or as long as two hours). Bringing the ham to room temperature helps it cook more evenly, ensuring it cooks up juicy and moist.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, stir together the brown sugar, maple syrup, prepared mustard, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil.<\/p>\n Cook and stir until slightly thickened, two to three minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> This recipe makes enough to cover a 7- to 9-pound ham. For a larger ham, you can double the glaze. (Use up any leftover glaze on our best-ever pancakes<\/a>!)<\/p>\n Remove the ham from the oven. Pour the glaze over the ham. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 140\u00b0, 15 to 30 minutes longer.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Before you carve the ham<\/a>, let the ham rest for 10 to 20 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut around the bone. Then slice through the natural breaks (look for the seams or fat lines in the ham). Transfer the slices to a serving platter.<\/p>\n We don’t recommend cooking your spiral-glazed ham ahead of time. These hams are already cooked, so you risk overcooking the meat every time you reheat it. It’s best to serve your ham fresh when you bake it.<\/p>\n Store leftover maple-glazed ham in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days. For longer storage, you can freeze ham<\/a> in a freezer-safe container for up to two months.<\/p>\n We recommend using a spiral-sliced fully cooked bone-in ham for maple-glazed ham. The bone gives the meat a better flavor, and you can use the leftover bone to make soups or stews (like split pea soup<\/a>). Spiral-cut hams are an excellent choice for holiday dinners because they’re pre-sliced, so they’re them very easy to carve. Read more on how to choose the best ham<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a general rule of thumb, we recommend about 1\/2 pound per person when serving a bone-in ham. If you substitute a boneless ham, plan for 1\/3 pound per person.<\/p>\n Serve maple-glazed ham with your favorite Christmas side dishes<\/a> or Easter dinner sides<\/a>. Hearty dishes like scalloped potatoes, mac and cheese, or mashed potatoes are always a hit. Complement the meal with light vegetable sides such as sauteed green beans, roasted carrots or squash casserole.<\/p>\n You can use leftover maple-glazed ham in most recipes that call for cooked ham. Turn it into side dishes like au gratin potatoes and ham<\/a>, mac and cheese with ham<\/a> or ham croquettes<\/a>. Leftover ham is also delicious for breakfast in a ham and cheese omelet<\/a> or farmers casserole<\/a>. Soup is always a good option, too. Whip up a batch of ham and bean soup<\/a> or ham chowder<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once you know how to make maple-glazed ham, you,\u00c4\u00f4ll never buy store-bought
