This spiced Maple and Orange Glazed Ham is perfect for the holidays. The orange marmalade and maple syrup are the perfect complements to any ham dish. I think it would be a wonderful sauce for Pork Tenderloin, Chicken, Seafood, and so much more.

Can you glaze a ham the night before?

Glazing should be done in the last 15-20 minutes of baking, but you can certainly make the glaze ahead of time. Make the glaze up to five days in advance, cover, and keep refrigerated. Place in a saucepan over low-medium heat to thin it out for basting ham.

How do you Glaze a pre-cooked ham?

You will still need to cook the ham according to the cooking chart that came with your ham or a reputable cooking chart. About 15-20 minutes before the ham is done, glaze the ham and bake until finished

Should you put liquid in the bottom of the roaster for ham?

Yes. I would put about 1 cup of water or broth into the bottom of the roaster before cooking ham

How do you place ham in the roaster?

Place it skin side up so the skin can get crisp

Ingredients

1 Fully Cooked Bone-In Ham about 7-9 lbs.
1 18 oz. jar of orange marmalade
½ cup of maple syrup
⅓ cup of orange juice
1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper Sauce

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees
Place the ham, so the sliced portion is facing down with all of the skin exposed for glazing, in a roasting pan
Cover it, and bake using your guide on the packaging. The approximate time should be 1&1/2 to 2&1/4 hours
While that’s cooking, gather your supplies for the glaze, and get a small saucepan out
Over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients for the glaze – marmalade, syrup, juice, and hot sauce
Heat until everything is well blended and smooth
Pour about 1 cup of the glaze into a bowl for glazing your ham, and keep the rest in the saucepan for now
When the ham has about 15 minutes to go, remove the ham from the oven, brush some of the glaze on the ham
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and continue to bake for about 15 minutes – occasionally adding more glaze
Bring the preserves to a boil. Cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute
Serve your ham with the spiced sauce

Notes

Don’t forget to cover the ham for baking

Store leftover ham in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
