Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you're looking for a different flavored ham this holiday season, try this sangria glazed ham. It's not a typical glaze or baking process. It's a little more work than preparing an average ham, but worth every minute. The glaze comes from brown sugar packed on top of the ham and pouring a wine mixture over it. As it cooks, the ingredients combine to become a nice sticky glaze. The wine mixture has a fruity flavor, but the orange zest is what shines the brightest. Combined with the cloves, this is a full-flavored ham.

Ingredients For sangria glazed ham

  • 7-8 lb
    bone-in ham
  • 2 Tbsp
    whole cloves
  • 2 c
    dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 c
    unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 2 1/2 c
    sangria or burgundy wine (if you only have a red house wine, it's ok)
  • 1 tsp
    orange zest

How To Make sangria glazed ham

  • Studding the ham with cloves.
    1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the ham in a large roaster pan with the fat side up. Use a sharp knife to score the ham 1/4-inch deep. Place whole cloves on top in a line about 1/2-inch apart, be sure to use plenty.
  • Covering the ham in brown sugar.
    2
    Pack the top of the ham with the brown sugar to coat the surface. It is okay if brown sugar falls into the pan, it will incorporate into the sangria.
  • Ham roasting in the oven.
    3
    Roast, uncovered, until the sugar begins to melt, about 20 minutes.
  • Pineapple juice, sangria wine, and orange zest in a bowl.
    4
    During this time, mix together the pineapple juice, sangria wine, and orange peel in a bowl.
  • Pouring some of the sangria mixture over the ham.
    5
    After 20-25 minutes, the sugar should have started to melt. Remove ham from oven and turn the heat down to 325. Pour 1 cup of the wine mixture over the sugared ham.
  • Ham continuing to bake.
    6
    Return the ham to the oven for 40 minutes.
  • Basting the ham with more of the wine mixture.
    7
    Remove from oven. Baste the ham with a second cup of wine, stirring it into the pan mixture created at the bottom.
  • Ham in the oven covered in foil.
    8
    Cover the ham with foil and cook for another 40-45 minutes in the oven.
  • Basting the ham with more glaze.
    9
    Remove from oven. Uncover the ham, baste and bake uncovered for 20 more minutes.
  • Sangria Glazed Ham on a serving platter.
    10
    Remove uncovered ham, baste one final time and let stand for 10 minutes. Voila!
