STICKY MAPLE-GLAZED HAM WITH BAKED APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• If your gammon needs to be soaked to draw out some of the salt (ask your butcher), place in a clean bucket or a preserving pan and cover with cold water. Chill overnight, or for up to 3 days.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. If the ham has been soaking, drain it well and place in a large, deep-sided roasting tin. Pour in the apple juice and top up with 400ml water. Add the spices, bay leaves and orange zest. Cover the ham tightly with a few large sheets of foil, scrunching it around the edges of the tin so no steam can escape, then bake for 5 hrs. Meanwhile, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a saucepan, then bubble until reduced to a sticky glaze. Score the apples around their equator with a small, sharp knife.
• Remove the ham from the oven and increase the temperature to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Carefully transfer the ham to a board - the easiest way to do this is to leave it to cool for 10 mins, then pop on clean washing- up gloves to lift it. Pour away the cooking liquid and discard the aromatics. Use a small, sharp knife to cut and peel away the rind, leaving a thin layer of fat attached to the meat. Line your roasting tin with a few sheets of foil and place the ham in the middle, fat-side up. Use a sharp knife to lightly score the fat in a criss-cross pattern. Return the ham to the oven and bake for 30 mins until the fat starts to crisp and caramelise.
• If the glaze has become a little thick, splash in a drop of water to loosen it, then brush all over the ham. Place the whole apples in the tin too, and return to the oven for another 20-30 mins, basting the ham every now and then, until dark and sticky all over.
• Before serving, mash the whole apples (discard the stalks, skin and pips) with a little of the sticky sauce from the roasting tin. We decorated our ham with star anise, sprayed with edible gold spray, and arranged bay leaves and orange peel around the board. Serve warm slices of the ham with the apple sauce, or cold in sandwiches. Will keep for up to 1 week in the fridge, or slice and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

• Boil until the liquid is reduced to about 1-1/2 cups (this should take about 8-10 minutes).
• In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cider vinegar and mustard until well blended.
• Add to the cider mixture; simmer sauce until reduced to about 2-1/4 cups, stirring occasionally (this shoud take about 5-6 minutes) the sauce can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated.
• Set oven to 375 degrees.

APPLE BAKED HAM RECIPE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. 2. Score the skin on the Ham in a diamond shape pattern. Insert the Whole Cloves into the skin. 3. Place the Apple Slices in a single layer in a 9 x 13 baking dish or roasting pan. Then set the Ham cut side down on top of the Apple Slices. 4. Whisk together the Syrup and the Mustard in a small bowl. 5. Brush the Syrup mixture over the entire skin on the Ham 6. Next we are going to add the Apple Cider to the bottom of the pan. A little tip, set the pan on the rack in the oven, then pour the Apple Cider in the bottom of the pan. It helps to prevent spilling the Apple Cider. That would be a mess to clean up in the oven! 7. Place a tent of foil loosely over the top of the Ham. This helps to retain the moisture in the pan which in turn keeps the Ham moist. 8. Bake the Ham for 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours. Look for an internal temperature of about 140 degrees. All ovens cook differently so have a meat thermometer handy and start checking the temperature at about 40 minutes to ensure you are on track with your cooking time. Remember this style of Ham is cooked, so in essence we are just warming it up and giving it a flavor boost. You don't want to serve a dry overcooked Ham.

BAKED HAM WITH APPLE MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Score top of ham into diamonds and stud the center of each diamond with a clove. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan and bake it for 1½ hours.
• While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the apple jelly over moderate heat, stirring, until melted. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the Dijon mustard. Spread glaze evenly on top of baked ham and bake for 35 minutes more.
• Transfer the cooked ham to a platter and let stand for 10-15 minutes.

MISO-AND-APPLE-GLAZED BAKED HAM

Steps:

• Leaving the ham in the inner plastic sleeve in which it came, submerge it in a large bowl or sink filled with hot tap water. Let it sit for an hour, changing the water halfway through to assure that the water stays warm.
• Heat the oven to 250 degrees with the rack on the lowest shelf. Unwrap the ham and place cut-side down on heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrapping and sealing it securely so it will not leak. Place on the oven shelf cut-side down and bake until the internal temperature reaches about 110 degrees, 8 minutes a pound or about 1 hour for a 7-pound ham. While the ham is baking, prepare the miso-and-apple glaze.
• For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine the miso, apple butter, apple cider, grated apple, sugar and pepper. Place over medium heat and stir until the mixture is thick and bubbly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
• When the ham reaches 110 degrees, remove it from the oven and put on a baking sheet. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Pull the foil away from the top of the ham, and brush the ham liberally with the glaze, allowing excess to drip to the bottom of the foil. Return the ham to the oven. Bake until the glaze forms a bubbly, sticky crust (about 10 minutes) or bake for 5 minutes and put it under the broiler for a few minutes until the crust is slightly burnt.
• Remove from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve doused with the mixture of juices and glaze in the bottom of the foil.
