SPIRAL HAM GLAZE RECIPE BROWN SUGAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325º. Place ham on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and score diagonally. Cover with foil and bake until warmed throughout, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. During the last 45 minutes of cooking, make glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together brown sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and apple cider. Bring up to a boil, then reduce to a medium simmer and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush glaze on ham every 15 minutes, until until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 140°. Remove ham from oven, give one final glaze, and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. 
• In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Season with salt. 
• Roll out enough aluminum foil to surround the ham and place the ham in the center of the foil. Peel back the layers of the ham and place a sprig of thyme between every other layer of the spirals. Pour half of the glaze over the ham allowing it to sink into the slices. Tightly wrap the ham in the foil and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes per pound. 
• Pour the remaining half of the glaze in a small saucepot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk until small bubbles appear all over, then turn off the heat. The glaze will thicken as it rests. 
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. 
• Remove the ham from the oven. Using caution and tongs to help, peel back the aluminum foil from the top, leaving the aluminum foil on the sides and underneath the ham to catch the glaze and juices. Slather the remaining glaze all over the top of the ham and place back in the oven uncovered for 15 more minutes. Remove and let rest before slicing.
