Molasses-Coffee Glazed Ham
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 (12-ounce) jar apricot jam
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup brewed strong coffee
- 1 (8- to 9-pound) bone-in, fully cooked smoked ham half
- Stir together the first 7 ingredients until blended. Then reserve 1 cup molasses-coffee sauce in a small bowl; set the reserved sauce aside.
- Trim ham, and, if desired, score in a diamond pattern. Place ham in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan. Pour remaining molasses-coffee sauce evenly over ham.
- Bake, on lower rack, at 350u0b0 for 2 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 140u0b0, basting with sauce in pan every 15 minutes. Cover loosely with lightly greased aluminum foil the last 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.
- Remove ham from baking pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Heat reserved molasses-coffee sauce, and serve with ham.
- Molasses-Coffee Glazed Turkey Breast: Substitute 1 (5- to 5 1/2-pound) bone-in turkey breast with skin for ham. Place turkey in a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch pan. Proceed as directed, covering loosely with aluminum foil before baking. Bake at 350u0b0 for 1 hour; uncover and bake 1 to 1 1/2 more hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 170u0b0, basting with molasses-coffee sauce every 15 minutes. Serve with warm reserved molasses-coffee sauce. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
