Ingredients:
- 1 smoked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- Whole cloves (quantity not specified)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing the ham. Remove the heavy rind, leaving about 1/2 inch of white fat intact.
- Score the fat diagonally into diamond shapes, creating an attractive pattern.
- Insert a whole clove into the center of each diamond.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, molasses, Dijon mustard, allspice, cinnamon, and cider vinegar, creating a flavorful glaze.
- Using a pastry brush, generously coat the ham with the prepared glaze, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the ham with breadcrumbs, covering it evenly for a crispy texture.
- Line an open roasting pan with foil, and carefully place the glazed ham in the center.
- Pour the water into the bottom of the roasting pan, ensuring it surrounds the ham.
- Roast the ham in the preheated oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until it is heated through and achieves a golden brown color.
- Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful ham.
Serve this irresistible Glazed Brunch Ham with Mustard & Molasses alongside your favorite brunch dishes for a memorable meal that will leave your guests craving more. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of this delectable ham creation!
