Maple-Pecan Glazed Ham
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 2-1/2 hours + standing
YIELD: 15 servings.
Maple syrup is reduced to concentrate its lovely flavor. Then it is spiced up to create a delicious glaze for ham, which browns up to a rich color. It is a wonderful treatment from the usual pineapple and brown sugar glaze.—Nancy Mueller, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin
Ingredients
-
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (7 to 9 pounds)
-
1 cup maple syrup
-
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
-
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Directions

1.
Trim off the skin of the ham and about 1/4 in. of fat. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/4 in. deep. Place the ham, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2 hours.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring syrup to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until reduced to 3/4 cup. Remove from the heat. Stir in the pecans, mustard, orange zest and allspice.

3.
Baste ham with some of the glaze; bake 30-60 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting occasionally with remaining glaze. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
