Description
A deliciously festive Orange Glazed Spiral Ham Bake, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 spiral-sliced bone-in ham, approximately 4.5 kg
- 1 large navel orange, unpeeled, thinly sliced
- 3 large garlic cloves, sliced
- 4 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 120 g orange marmalade
- 80 g light brown sugar
- 60 ml honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
- 60 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 163°C. Line a large roasting pan with aluminium foil and set a roasting rack on top. Tuck orange slices, garlic slices, and rosemary sprigs between the ham slices. Position the ham cut side down on the rack.
- Cover ham loosely with foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
- In the final 15 minutes of initial baking, combine orange marmalade, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, orange zest, and orange juice in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
- Remove ham from oven and discard the foil. Generously brush the entire surface of the ham with the prepared glaze.
- Return ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 45 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through, until caramelised and glossy.
- Remove ham from oven and tent loosely with foil. Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Slice around the bone and serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure the ham is at room temperature before baking for even cooking.
- The glaze can be prepared in advance and reheated before use.
- Let the ham rest after baking for the best slicing results.
