Ingredients for Baked Glazed Ham With Raisins
- Cooked Ham
- Dry White Wine
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup raisins
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
How to Make Baked Glazed Ham With Raisins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Remove rind from the ham and score the surface if the fat is at least 1/4 inch thick. This helps the glaze penetrate.
- Place the ham in a large casserole dish. Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine and 1/2 cup of water. Arrange 1 cup of raisins and 4 tablespoons of butter evenly around the ham.
- Pour 1/4 cup of brandy (optional) over the ham. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, basting frequently with the pan liquids.
- Continue baking until the surface is crisp and golden brown, about another 20 minutes (total baking time approximately 60 minutes).
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender ham.
- Serve hot or cold. For reheating, see instructions below.
- **To reheat:** Cover with aluminum foil and warm for 20-25 minutes in a moderate oven (325°F/160°C), or wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for about 4 minutes (adjust time depending on your microwave and the amount of ham).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
