Tangerine Glazed Ham Recipe

Tangerine glazed ham is an easy holiday ham recipe, perfect to serve for Easter dinner or any Sunday brunch.

Portions of this tangerine glazed ham post were originally printed in the Greenwood Daily Journal, on Saturday, April 23, 2011.
 It is traditionally thought that the start of each new year is the time to make big changes, decisions and resolutions.  It is easy to think that, because the calendar year is starting over.  However, I prefer to look at Easter as my “New Year’s Day”.

I don’t mean that because everywhere you look, flowers and trees are are in bloom. Well, that is part of it. For me, spring is a time of renewal, reflection and planning.  A chance to correct what I didn’t like about the last year and set a course for a new destination. It’s also a time for family to gather for Easter dinner, which is likely to include a variation of glazed ham. This year, it will be tangerine glazed ham.

For me, Easter also represents a time of rebirth.  Of ideas, feelings and of self.  We get so comfortable in our baggy sweaters and comfy jeans all winter that we cringe when we see our uncovered selves in the mirror on the first warm day we bravely put on shorts.  We have long forgotten our resolutions we made on January first.  I know in the back of my mind when I make them that the rate of success is not high.  Over the years, I have decided not to set myself up for this disappointment.  Instead, I choose to set more attainable goals mid year, when I feel the energetic pull to work in the yard and run outside instead of inside on the treadmill.

Spring is a time to flourish and take a minute to re-examine how you live your life. Are you happy and do you enjoy what you do? Do you have positive relationships with others?  Happiness means so many different things to different people.  Not everyone finds bliss in a morning spent at the greenhouse followed by an afternoon of making homemade bread or rollerblading in the park. Finding happiness is often hampered by our own actions.  Simply put, often that which holds us back is ourselves.

Last year, while having a conversation with a friend, I mentioned that I felt I was at a personal crossroads.  I explained that I was looking for a greater purpose, so to speak. As much as I love my life and I feel very fortunate for all that I have, I felt that I was still searching for something. She asked what I would do if I could, with no restrictions. I told her I would write, about food, family, and my life. Her response was short, stopping me in my tracks.

“Well, then why don’t you?” she said.  5 words that shined a light on the path not yet taken.

That was the moment I made the choice to stoke that little light inside of me and put my thoughts into action. Everyone can have a second act in life, whether it be a career change, getting in shape or a change in attitude. There is a line in one of my favorite songs that says “Decide what to be and go be it”. This is my motto right now.

Well-being is less about enjoying life when it’s going well and more about having strength and perseverance when it’s not.  We weren’t born with a road map in hand, but it doesn’t mean we can’t pause and evaluate where we are from time to time. Don’t wait for a tragedy, an illness, or loss of job to find your “spark”. Have a little faith, get a good support system, plot out your path, and move forward.

I hope you enjoy this Easter, and all that spring reveals to you.

This tangerine glazed ham is a favorite in my house.  A fresh take on a traditional glaze, the sweet-tart crust that forms on the outside is the best part.

Save time by purchasing a spiral sliced ham.  Doing so allows the glaze to find its way into all of the slices of ham. I use Cooks brand (shank) spiral sliced ham. It is packaged with it’s natural juices, bakes well, and doesn’t get mushy.

The meal is lightened up this year, with carrots that bake with the ham, garlic string beans, and herb roasted red potatoes. Serve a little of the reserved tangerine glaze over the ham, if desired.

Ingredients

  • 7-10 pound ham, bone-in, skin on
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter
  • 2 tangerines, sliced thin (may substitute oranges if you can’t find tangerines)
  • 2 cups tangerine juice (if you use oranges, then use orange juice)
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
    For the ham:
  2. Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put it in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours.
    For the glaze:
  3. Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, cloves and cinnamon. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.
  4. After the ham has being cooking for 2 hours hours, pour the tangerine glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for 90 minutes, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.
  5. Bake the ham until it is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.
  6. Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the tangerine glaze on the side if you want to.

    I hope you are doing okay since it looks like this post was done back in April. I don't know if these blog hops keep our information and just plug it in for us or if we enter it ourselves each week. It is odd that there are no posts since April so I hope this finds you well. I followed you on Facebook and thru GFC and would love a follow back on both when you get the chance. Thanks so much for your help and have a great day! [email protected]://www.mmbearcupoftea.com

    I had to look this up after you talked about it on ATKS last night. It looks HOLY COW good!! I love tangerines. We are having ham on Sunday (I know...how original...ham on Easter), but a friend who has a restaurant connection is bringing a smoked ham over. Do you think this glaze would work on an already smoked ham?? I'd love to give it a go. I know I've used cranberry glazes on smoked hams and they've turned out great, so I wondered if this would, too. Let me know what you think! P.S. I was worried I'd been overconfident with my Frittle guess for the IN Artisan giveaway. Until the end of your show, you'd only mentioned 240 Sweet marshmallows (one of MY favorites!) Whew! Glad I got it right!
