My mother in law makes a fantastic glazed ham every year! ( i look forward to it every year because it is the best ham i have ever had ) this year im going to do it :)

She adds Orange juice (main ingredient), splash of pineapple juice, brown sugar, splash of mustard and some marmalade and just keeps glazing through baking. She sits this on a rack above a roasting dish also.

Our favourite recipe - given to me by a butcher here in Whakatane many years ago (my recipe book notes 1984), is:
Simmer together till the sugar is dissolved:
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup pineapple juice (use the juice from a can of pineapple rings, and make the juice up to 1 cup with water)
1/2 tsp dry mustard.

Place two layers of tinfoil in the bottom of the roasting dish.
Remove the skin of the ham and some of the fat if you want, and score a diamond pattern about 1/4" deep into the surface of the fat that's left.
Place the ham on the tinfoil, then decorate the ham with the pineapple circles and with cherries inside the circles.
Use toothpicks to hold them in place if needed.
Pour over the glaze, cover firmly with foil then the roasting dish lid if it will fit - otherwise just use the foil.
Bake at 160°C for 20 minutes per kilo.
Baste with the glaze about every 10 minutes.

We use Provisions' Apricot Mustard Fruits - it's so damn good it should be illegal! We sell it in our little shop in Clyde and every year the faithful arrive for their supplies :-) It's the most awesome glaze ever!

Half a jar of Pams/Home brand Apricot jam heated in the mirowave with 2 heaped tablespoons whole seed mustard.Remove skin carefully from ham then pour over glaze.Heat in oven (I usually do for about 2 hours) on 180 basting every 20 mins (or more often).

I have a fabulous Ham ready in the fridge - but I have only ever served it cold. I would like to heat and glaze it. Can you explain exactly what to do, what heat etc.
We would do a very SImple glaze like the pineapple, sugar, mustard one above. But how long! And how often do you baste!

Accroul - I'm just reading what I typed - it's a "thick" paste!

I just score the ham in the diaginal crosses then in joining edge put a whole clove into each one.Then pour over Bit on the Side Apricot Sauce and its lovely.Glaze again thru cooking time.If Ham is already cooked you cook it on 180 C.Its 20minutes to each Kilo of Ham.Its easy and tasty!
