Beer and honey glazed ham

Prep time: 20 minutes

Yield: 4 lbs ham: 10 portions

Cook time, glaze: 1 hour
Cook time, ham: 20 minutes per poud
INGREDIENTS

Glaze

  • 1 bottle beer, brown ale
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 to 3 cloves
Ham
  • 1 bone-in smoked ham
  • 1/2 onion
TIPS and thoughts
  • You can make the glaze in advance.
    • The glaze hardens in the fridge. It will get liquid enough to brush on ham once at room temperature.
  • Not a beer drinker? Me neither, but the beer’s bitterness cuts the saltiness and smokiness of the ham.
STEPS

Glaze

  1. In a sauce pot, over low heat, combine all ingredients:
    • Beer
    • Honey
    • Bay leaves
    • Cloves
  2. Let reduce until it has thicken, about 1/3 left.

Ham

  1. Heat oven to 325° F.
  2. Score ham in a diamond pattern.
  3. Thinly slice onion and place at the bottom of your cooking pan or pot.
  4. Place ham on top of the onions.
  5. Brush some of the glaze onto the ham and put in oven.
  6. Every 20 minutes or so, brush more glaze onto ham.
