Spiced Roasted Ham with Glaze

I love pork products. Probably more than the average person (well not as much as Chef Michael Symon who has multiple pigs tattoos – but close).  So naturally when I had an opportunity to partner with the National Pork Board it was a big giant no brainer. I am official now.

Yes officially a Sister Cites of Ham Ambassador (Raleigh – DurHAM) and I have a badge to prove it. A celebration was in order which had to include what else? Ham! This spiced roasted ham with glaze. It’s a showstopper and it couldn’t be easier to make. Promise.


The nice folks at the National Pork Board supplied me with a complimentary coupon to pick up a ham. I chose a spiral cut beauty that came in around 7 pounds. You don’t have to use a spiral cut, for me it’s just one less thing to tackle when it comes out of the oven. I’m impatient and let’s be honest, it’s pretty irresistible straight out of the oven. The smells from the spices, the shimmer from the glaze. I can hardly contain myself just thinking about it now.

Because I think everyone should try this spiced roasted ham with citrus glaze recipe (it’s that good and makes a wicked good sandwich the next day with leftovers, you’re welcome) the nice folks at The National Pork Board are giving away a $30 coupon (which by the way will buy a honking big ham enough for say Easter dinner coming up) to one lucky reader!

Spiced Roasted Ham with Glaze

Ingredients

  • 6 to 7 pound fully-cooked bone-in ham, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 cup orange marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dixie Crysals light brown sugar - packed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Position rack on lowest setting of oven.
  2. If you are not using a spiral cut ham, into the fat, score a 1/8" diamond pattern into the ham.
  3. In a small bowl, combine: coriander, paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and cloves. Rub spice mixture over all sides of the ham.
  4. Place ham, flat side down, in a large shallow roasting pan and cook until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours or 15 to 18 minutes per pound.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine: marmalade, orange juice, and sugar.
  6. Brush marmalade mixture over the ham.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for additional 5 minutes, until the glaze is lightly caramelized.
  8. Remove ham from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let rest 15 to 30 minutes prior to slicing.

    I always make a glazed ham but have never had a spicy glazed one. Will have to try this!

    I Followed bell’alimento on PINTEREST and I Pinned a photo from this post and the recipe.

    Spiral cut, with a pineapple-brown sugar glaze (plus more for dipping). It’s delicious. Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. Meghan says

    I love to make a honey glazed ham and then use the leftover bone for red beans and rice!

  13. DessertForTwo says

    I’ve never made a ham all by myself before, but this year, I have to! It’s our first Easter as a married couple! Wow. Help! 🙂

  17. Maxine R. says

    I use the old standby of pineapple slices and pineapple juice mixed with brown sugar and mustard

  31. Marcia says

    I’ve actually never cooked a ham before. Growing up, we kept kosher so we never had ham and I’ve just never made one. But since EVERYTHING you make is fabulous, I’m sure this is, too!

  33. Robin C. says

    I roast the ham until almost done then glaze it with Saucy Susan…yum!

  37. barbara n says

    I like to bake my ham with a sweet and sour glaze. My family loves it this way

  38. Babs says

    I usually score my ham, stud with cloves and then do a pineapple, brown-sugar glaze. Love it!

  40. Charlette says

    I follow bellalimento on Pinterest and I pinned this wonderful ham recipe!

  43. Charlette says

    My favorite way to make ham would be soaked in ginger ale then dump that. I bake it for half hour pouring more ginger ale over it, then a good basting of apricot jam, bake for about an other hour basting the whole time. With what else scalloped potatoes! Oh now I am so hungry!

  44. Susan in the Boonies says

    I typically just buy a Honey Baked Ham and serve! But I do use a ham in all kinds of recipes: very often a pasta with cream sauce and peas. And then the bone I use for a big pot of black beans and rice.

    I’m crazy about pork: there are so many different ways we use it!

  48. TrishInFL says

    I make a ham and white bean stoup. it’s delicious, thick, hearty and filling.

    I have fond memories of helping my Mom prepare the holiday ham. She would let me stud the ham with cloves. She made a wonderful brown sugar & mustard glaze and adorned with rings of sweet pineapple. It was always delicious! Thanks for the giveaway!

  87. Mary Beth Elderton says

    I like to cook ham with orange juice and honey—sometimes brown sugar. Then we love the “leftovers” even more on sandwiches:)

  93. Amanda Thompson says

    I love my ham roasted in the oven with brown sugar and pineapple!

  95. Angela Spengler says

    I love baked ham with a maple glaze, although I have tried a peanut butter glazed one and really liked it.

  96. Sally Sibthorpe says

    Rather than glaze my ham, I like to mix brown sugar, salt, dry mustard, and ground cloves. I pat this all over thehot cooked ham, then blowtorch it until the sugar melts, then turns crunchy like a Honeybaked ham. Very good!

  111. Laura Jacobson says

    Oh I guess I am pretty boring…I just make it plain! I will have to try this recipe! I normally just bake them!

  115. The Healthy Apple says

    Love making ham; this recipe is SOooooo going to be on my Easter menu! My family loves it and we make a special ham recipe every Easter. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much Paula!

  119. Cori Westphal says

    I put a ham in my roaster, covered in tin foil, for a couple hours. Then, just as it’s finishing, I cover it in a brown sugar glaze! Ooooh so good!

    I love making a ham with a good ol mustard glaze, a little bit of coke-a-cola at the bottom of the pan, plenty of root vegtables. Of course you can’t forget the traditional pineapple rings, just cuz! : )

  132. Kenny says

    I’m a mustard fan so any preparation of ham that involves mustard is the best to me!

  138. Katie says

    ummm congrats on your badge… its well deserved after making a beauty like this! Love all the spices!
