Ham comes in a multitude of varieties… canned ham, fresh ham and one of the most popular is the spiral ham for its great flavor and ease of cooking

What is a spiral ham?

Basically a spiral ham is is a precooked ham portion, that can be a a quarter, half or whole ham that has been sliced in a consistent spiral fashion before packaging, which makes it very easy to just heat and serve

We are not a big fan of the premade glaze that typically comes with the ham.  It’s mainly made of sugar and not very flavorful

Time to fix that with a simple glaze that will make all the difference and bring your ham to a whole new level!

Let’s start with the ham

We have a 10 pound precooked half spiral ham

Preheat your oven to 325 F

Place the ham in a roasting pan cut side down

Tightly and completely cover the pan in tinfoil

We like to poke a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the ham to keep track of it as it is heating up

20200126_153054

Cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours to allow the internal temp to get to 165 F

While the ham is cooking let’s work on the glaze

Here is where we take this to the next level

We will need 1 cup of orange marmalade, 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard and 1/4 cup of brandy

20200126_165001

Add the marmalade to a saucepan with the mustard

Whisk over medium heat until combined

Next add in the brandy

Let’s flambé!

Carefully ignite the brandy and flambé

Whisk until the flames die down

The brandy will add a nice caramel note to the sauce

Set the sauce aside to slightly cool and thicken

Once the ham has reached the desired temperature remove it from the oven

Turn the oven up to 425 F

Remove the tinfoil from the ham and start brushing on the glaze

20200126_183924

Be generous with the glaze and if possible get some between the slices of ham

20200126_185131

Place the ham back in the oven uncovered and cook 10-12 minutes allowing the glaze to thicken and caramelize

Remove the ham from the oven and allow it to rest for 20 minutes before serving

To serve use a long knife to cut around the center bone then remove the slices to a platter

Time to dig in!!!
