The Holiday Ham Glaze for People Who Want a Little Kick

Hot Pepper Jelly Glazed Ham combines a full jar of hot pepper jelly with your choice of red plum jam, orange marmalade, or apple jam and a splash of apple juice, then divides the glaze into quarters for basting Jones Dairy Farm Uncured No Sugar Ham at intervals throughout roasting at 325°F. The final quarter gets reheated and served warm alongside the finished ham. This gluten free glazed ham recipe serves 6 and delivers a sweet-heat finish that sets it apart from every other holiday ham on the table.

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
If desired, score fat layer on ham. Place ham in baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
In small microwave-safe bowl, combine hot pepper jelly and jam; mix well. Microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir. Set aside 1/4 of glaze to serve along with the ham.
Pour apple juice over ham then baste with 1/4 of glaze. Cover with foil and place in preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes then baste with another 1/4 of glaze. Bake another 20 minutes then remove foil and baste with remaining 1/4 of glaze and pan juices. Cook for 15 minutes then baste ham with pan juices and cook an additional 10-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 125°F.
While ham is resting, reheat remaining hot pepper jelly glaze. Serve ham with hot pepper jelly glaze.
