I love serving a glazed ham during the holidays. It doesn’t take long to prep and you can live on the leftovers for days! This marmalade glaze is really something special, sweet, tangy and full of flavor!

How to Make This Marmalade Glazed Ham Recipe

Be sure to remove the ham from the fridge 2 hours before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature and 30 minutes before cooking, preheat the oven and prepare your roasting tin.

Make the glaze by combining the ingredients in a pan on the stovetop, bring it to the boil and let it simmer until it thickens. While the glaze is simmering, score the skin of the ham in a diamond pattern.

Pour the cider into your roasting pan and place the ham flat side down in the middle of the tin. Brush half of the glaze over the ham and bake it for 1 1/2 hours while basting every 30 minutes.

When the ham has cooked, baste it again and brown under the broiler if needed. Rest, slice and serve.

An 8 pound ham will take about an hour and a half to cook, if your ham is bigger or smaller, it should take between 10-15 minutes per pound. Teh smoked ham is already cooked, so it only needs to be heated through. The internal temperature of the ham should register 115ºF and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.

  • Remove the ham from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking.
  • Slicing a bone-in ham is a little tricky, but here are a two suggestions that might help: First, cut around the bone with a sharp, thin knife, then slice off pieces horizontally, around the bone. Or…stand the ham upright on the flat side and make slices vertically down and around the ham and bone.
  • Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving the ham.
