Jamón Glaseado con Miel

Ingredientes

• 10 lb fully cooked bone-in ham
• 1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup honey (plus extra to taste)
• 1/3 large orange (zest and juice)
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice (optional, to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ham on a rack inside a roasting pan.

2. 2

   Bake uncovered for 2 hours.

3. 3

   While the ham is baking, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, and honey.

4. 4

   Zest the orange into the pan, then squeeze in its juice. Add Dijon mustard and ground cloves.

5. 5

   Heat over medium-high until the glaze starts to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened.

6. 6

   Taste and adjust the glaze. Add lemon juice if you want more tang, or more honey for extra sweetness.

7. 7

   After 2 hours, remove ham from the oven. Brush the glaze over the ham generously.

8. 8

   Return to the oven and bake for 30 to 45 more minutes, brushing with glaze every 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Once the ham is golden and caramelized, remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy!
