Ham in a spicy honey glaze topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 cooked ham weighing 3.5 kg on the bone
- 1 cup lightly salted chicken broth
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Dijon mustard
- 0.5 cup grainy mustard
- 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
Preparation:
- Bring the ham to room temperature 1 hour before baking.
- Position a rack on the bottom shelf of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Trim the rind from the ham, leaving a 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) layer of fat. Using a sharp knife, make 2.5 cm (1 inch) slits in the fat, without cutting through the meat. Place the ham flat side down in a roasting pan and pour chicken broth into the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and roast for 1.5 hours.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Transfer 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, remove the foil, and brush with about a quarter of the remaining glaze.
- Continue roasting, basting with the glaze and basting with pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140°F (60°C), another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if it dries out.
- Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining glaze.
