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

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove rind from the ham and score the surface if the fat is at least 1/4 inch thick. This helps the glaze penetrate.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Continue baking until the surface is crisp and golden brown, about another 20 minutes (total baking time approximately 60 minutes).
  6. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender ham.
  7. Serve hot or cold. For reheating, see instructions below.
  8. **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!
