Sangria Glazed Ham image

If you're looking for a different flavored ham this holiday season, try this sangria glazed ham. It's not a typical glaze or baking process.

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

7-8 lb bone-in ham
2 Tbsp whole cloves
2 c dark brown sugar
1 1/2 c unsweetened pineapple juice
2 1/2 c sangria or burgundy wine (if you only have a red house wine, it's ok)
1 tsp orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the ham in a large roaster pan with the fat side up. Use a sharp knife to score the ham 1/4-inch deep. Place whole cloves on top in a line about 1/2-inch apart, be sure to use plenty.
  • 2. Pack the top of the ham with the brown sugar to coat the surface. It is okay if brown sugar falls into the pan, it will incorporate into the sangria.
  • 3. Roast, uncovered, until the sugar begins to melt, about 20 minutes.
  • 4. During this time, mix together the pineapple juice, sangria wine, and orange peel in a bowl.
  • 5. After 20-25 minutes, the sugar should have started to melt. Remove ham from oven and turn the heat down to 325. Pour 1 cup of the wine mixture over the sugared ham.
  • 6. Return the ham to the oven for 40 minutes.
  • 7. Remove from oven. Baste the ham with a second cup of wine, stirring it into the pan mixture created at the bottom.
  • 8. Cover the ham with foil and cook for another 40-45 minutes in the oven.
  • 9. Remove from oven. Uncover the ham, baste and bake uncovered for 20 more minutes.
  • 10. Remove uncovered ham, baste one final time and let stand for 10 minutes. Voila!
