Ham with Candied Orange Glaze
I couldn't find orange so I used strawberry this time and it was amazing, still

Servings: 1

Servings: 1
Ingredients
  • ▪ One 7 to 10 pound bone-in ham
  • ▪ ½ cup apple cider (plus more for bottom of roasting pan)
  • ▪ ½ cup bourbon ( I substituted organic apple juice)
  • ▪ 10 ounce jar Polaner Orange All Fruit with Fiber (sweetened only with fruit juice)
  • ▪ ¼ cup unsulphured molasses
  • ▪ ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ▪ 1 T apple cider vinegar
  • ▪ ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ▪ ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Steps
  1. Boil apple cider and bourbon in a small saucepan until reduced by half.  Stir in Orange All Fruit, molasses, maple syrup, cider vinegar, cloves, and red pepper flakes.  Simmer for ~5 minutes, stirring frequently.  Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 325F.  Prepare a roasting pan by lining with foil, or (like we did) use a disposable aluminum roasting pan for easy clean-up.  Place a rack on the bottom of the pan.
  3. Remove any hard rind and excess fat from ham, if present.  Score the ham all over in a crosshatch diamond pattern to create nooks for the glaze to seep in.  Place the ham on the roasting rack, fatty side up.
  4. Roast the ham at 325 for thirty minutes.
  5. Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 400F.  Liberally brush glaze all over the ham.
  6. Pour enough apple cider in the bottom of the pan to cover the pan - it’s okay if it touches the bottom of the ham.  This will prevent you from smelling burnt sugar for the next 45 minutes and it will help keep the ham moist.
  7. Return the ham to the oven and bake, basting and adding more glaze every 10 to 15 minutes until the ham is hot throughout and caramelized on the outside (about 45 minutes to an hour).
  8. Remove ham from oven, tent with foil, and let rest for 15 to 30 minutes.  Transfer to a cutting board and start slicing!  Enjoy!
