Best Spicy Tamarind And Honey Glazed Spiral Ham Recipes

SPICY TAMARIND-AND-HONEY-GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Let ham sit at room temperature 1 hour for even baking.
• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 300°F. Wrap ham tightly in foil and place on a wire rack set inside a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ham, avoiding the bone, registers 120°F, 1 1/2-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, mix chiles, garlic, ginger, tamarind, and 1/2 cup honey in a small bowl; season lightly with salt. Set 1/3 cup glaze aside for sauce.
• Remove ham from oven and uncover. Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Brush ham with 1/3 cup glaze and bake 10 minutes. Brush with another 1/3 cup glaze and bake until surface is crisp and looks lacquered, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and tent with foil; let ham rest 20 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, bring wine to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Whisk in reserved 1/3 cup glaze and remaining 1 Tbsp. honey. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add butter 1 piece at a time, incorporating completely before adding more, until sauce is glossy, about 3 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
• Serve ham with sauce alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Glaze can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

SPICY HONEY-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 350 degrees F. Trim off any skin from the ham, leaving a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Score the fat with a sharp knife in a 1-inch crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Place the ham flat-side down in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth to the pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the honey, brown sugar, mustards, vinegar, hot sauce, thyme and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Remove 3/4 cup of the glaze to a separate bowl and set aside for serving. Remove the ham from the oven, discard the foil and brush with about one-quarter of the remaining glaze. Continue baking, brushing with the glaze and the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the ham is a deep reddish-brown and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 more hours. (Add 1/2 cup water to the pan if the juices dry out.)
• Transfer the ham to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved glaze.

SPICY MAPLE-GLAZED SPIRAL HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 380 degrees F. Whisk gochujang, apple juice, maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, and espresso in a small bowl.
• Place ham onto a rack fitted over a sheet pan. Generously brush the glaze all over the ham with a pastry or silicone brush. The glaze will seep into the ham, giving it a burnished finish throughout. Bake 1-1½ hours, depending on the size of your ham, basting every 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, for the first basting, the spiral cuts will begin to brown and separate. Baste all over, then place back in the oven. The ham will be basted 5-6 times in total, for a bubbly, burnished finish.
• Remove ham from oven and pull away the outermost layer from the cut side (this slice will be dried out). Let rest while preparing the garnish. Lay kale or cabbage leaves onto a platter, then sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Gently place the ham on the leaves and serve.

Bake 45-55 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting occasionally with pan drippings.
