Glazed ham
A glazed ham is a ham that has been coated with a sweet, often sugary, sauce. This gives the ham a shiny, golden appearance and a slightly sweet flavor.
Glazed ham is a popular dish for holidays and special occasions, such as Easter and Christmas. It is often served with other holiday favorites such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce.
The history of glazed ham is unclear, but it is thought to have originated in the United States. It is a popular dish in the South, where it is often served with sweet potatoes and collard greens.
Advice
When making glazed ham, it's important to ensure you have the right ingredients and the right cook time. Start with a good quality ham, one that will keep its shape during the cooking process. Then prepare a glaze of your choice, such as honey, brown sugar, and mustard. When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven and place the ham in a roasting pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes per pound, basting with the glaze every 15 minutes. Be sure to check the internal temperature of the ham to ensure it has reached 145 degrees, then let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Questions
How do you glaze a ham?
To glaze a ham, preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Place the ham in an oven-safe pan and bake it for 30 minutes. Take the ham out of the oven and brush a layer of glaze over it. Place the ham back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 F (60 C). Let the ham cool for 15 minutes before serving.
Do you glaze ham before or after cooking?
Usually, ham is glazed after cooking.
Can I glaze a precooked ham?
Yes, you can glaze a precooked ham. Precooked hams are already cooked and ready to eat, but adding a glaze adds flavor and can help keep the ham moist. The best way to glaze a precooked ham is to brush the glaze over the top of the ham and bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
How do you heat and glaze a fully cooked ham?
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. 2. Place the ham on a baking sheet and cover it with foil. 3. Bake the ham for approximately 10 minutes per pound or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. 4. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. 5. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F. 6. Uncover the ham and brush it with your favorite glaze. 7. Place the ham back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the glaze is golden brown. 8. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before serving.
When should I glaze my ham?
When you are ready to serve the ham, glaze it just before putting it in the oven. This will ensure that the glaze is crisp and flavorful.
Do I cover ham when I glaze it?
Yes, it is important to cover ham with a glaze when baking. This helps to keep the ham moist and also helps the glaze to adhere to the ham.
