Spiced Orange Rum Glazed Ham Recipe
Orange Rum Glazed Ham Recipe
Our family doesn’t save eating ham to just the holidays. We will buy them when they are on sale, freeze one for later and enjoy it for a nice weekend dinner. Glazes are a great way to add flavor to your ham. This glazed ham recipe is another option to make your ham delicious on another level.
Before you make the glaze, combine the ingredients in a pot off of the stove.
What Ingredients Are Needed?
- delicious ham (spiral or boneless)
- spiced rum
- brown sugar
- orange juice
- nutmeg
- all spice
Does The Glaze Go on the Ham Before I Bake It?
The glaze does not go on before you bake the ham. After you cook the ham for about an hour, you will remove from the oven and glaze. You will then glaze again near the end of baking the ham.
Serve with your favorite mashed potatoes, corn bread muffins and glazed carrots with homemade bread and don’t forget the gravy!
How Do I Keep Glazed Ham Moist?
When cooking your ham, cover it in foil to prevent it from drying out while cooking. After an hour of cooking, you can remove the foil and glaze the ham. The glaze should caramelize. If you feel the ham is drying out, you can cover it again, but do let the glaze caramelize.
How Long Do I Cook A Pre-Cooked Ham?
Precooked hams should be cooked for 10-15 minutes per pound. Check the internal temperature reaches 145F.
Spiced Rum Orange Glazed Ham
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup spiced rum
- juice from 1 orange
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon all spice
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven 350℉.
- Place your precooked ham in oven with 1-2 cup water. The ham should be flat side down and covered in foil.
- In a pan (not on the stove), add all the ingredients and stir to incorporate.
- Place the pan on the stove on medium heat.
- You will want the mix to come to a slow boil for about 5 minutes.
- After an hour of cooking the ham, remove the ham from the oven.
- Remove the foil. Use care and place ham on it's side in the pan, so you can see the spirals.
- If you are using a boneless ham, you will want to cut slits into the top about 1/2 inch deep, making squares on top.
- Use a brush and spread the glaze onto and into the sections of the ham. Take about half of the glaze, reserving some to glaze the ham once it's cooked.
- Place the ham back into the oven (no foil) and cook for an hour, until it is hot and 145F (because you ham was precooked and just needed to be heated). Precooked hams are baked 10 to 15 minutes per pound.
- Remove from the oven and cut the ham and place ham onto platter.
- Use the brush to glaze the remaining glaze onto the ham (optional).
