Description
An Easter ham like no other that is topped with an addicting brown sugar and beer glaze!
Ingredients
- 8 pounds Smoked Ham
- 12 ounces, fluid Dark Beer With Coffee (I Used A Coffee Porter)
- 1-½ cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ cups Maple Syrup
- 2 Tablespoons Stone Ground Mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Fine Sea Salt
- 2 teaspoons Allspice
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice
- ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place an oven-safe oven rack on top if you wish.
Place ham on rack and score a grid-like pattern, cutting down into ham about 1/2 inch deep.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beer, brown sugar, maple syrup, mustard, cornstarch, salt, allspice, cayenne pepper, Chinese five spice and black pepper. Taking about 1/3 of mixture, brush entire ham generously.
Place ham in oven, uncovered, and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and brush another 1/3 of glaze on top and place back in oven. Bake for an additional hour or until top is brown and crisp. Remove from heat.
In a small saucepan, add remaining glaze. Heat over medium-low heat until alcohol has cooked out and glaze is thick. Remove from heat and pour into a serving bowl.
Slice ham to your liking and serve warm with glaze.
