To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have Cherry Dr. Pepper Glazed City Ham using 8 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

I've done hams before in the traditional honey/brown sugar/pineapple syrup sweet glaze, a cherry-portglaze, and a "city" ham with mustard and gingersnap crust. I wanted to take what I liked from each recipe.

I kept the cherries from the cherry-port glaze, but lost the port, and added a bit of wine, along with the spice of whole ground mustard from the city ham, and a bit of brown sugar to help make the glaze syrupy, I added a good bit of Dr. Pepper to the glaze. The mustard kept the ham from turning that predictable salty-sweet flavor, and gave it a bit of bite. The cherry/merlot/Dr. Pepper glaze reduced wonderfully into a thick sticky mess, which stuck to the ham, and began to caramelize.

I've done this recipe both in the oven and on the grill. I'd suggest the grill, but have kept the oven instructions too. O make this with my soux vide, but only because it's easier, this is completely doable with just your sink hot water and I've included directions incase you dont have a soux vide.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Make ready to make Cherry Dr. Pepper Glazed City Ham:

1. 1 smoked, non-spiral cut city ham
2. 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
3. 1/2 cup cherry preserves
4. 1/2 cup dry red wine
5. 1 cup Dr. Pepper
6. 1 Tsp ground black pepper
7. 2 Tbsp brown sugar
8. 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions to make Cherry Dr. Pepper Glazed City Ham

1. Begin several hours in advance, by putting the ham (still shrink wrapped) in a bucket and covered with hot water and let sit for an hour or so. Replace the hot water when warm, and let sit for another few hours. This is to raise the internal temp of the ham and reduce cooking time later without drying the ham out. If you have soux vide set up, heat the water to 115°F and skip to step 5.
2. Turn your oven (or smoker) to 250°F
3. When the ham is uniformly warm (use your temperature probe: ~ 70F - 80F or so), remove from water and plastic. Rinse ham and discard the pad covering the bone. Make thin cuts on the ham fat in the pattern of a diamond. This helps the ham stay flat while cooking, instead of curling up, and makes for easy removal of the fat later on when it's glazed.
4. Put the warm ham in an oven bag, and stick your temperature probe into the center of the ham but not touching the bone. Place the hame on a baking tray cut side down. Bake until the internal temperature of the ham is about 115 F. If you want an extra smoky ham "double smoked," do this step in a smoker without the bag.
5. While the ham is cooking, mix the cherry preserves, merlot, and Dr. Pepper in a blender and blend until the cherries are not chunky. Be carefull as the Dr. Pepper will foam up when blended. Put the mixture in a small sauce pot, add 2 Tbsp brown sugar and black pepper, and stir over medium-low heat until reduced at least by half, or until syrupy.
6. Take the ham out of the oven (about 1-2 hours later), remove from bag, and place on a baking pan, or roasting pan cut side down. Remove the fat diamonds and excess fat from the ham. Brush or spread the mustard on the ham, and then rub (careful because it's hot) the 1/2 cup brown sugar over the ham and mustard.
7. Increase the oven (or a grill/smoker) to 300°F
8. Place the ham in the oven or grill and let the sugars begin to caramelize.
9. As the sugars caramelize, baste with the glaze and further caramelize the sugars until the internal temperature reaches 120-130°F near the bone. Remember, hams are already cooked, so you're just reheating it, fancy-like.
10. Remove the ham and let rest for 10 minutes
11. Slice in large sections, and cut the sections into smaller slices.

Additionally you will detect as your own experience and confidence grows you will see yourself more and more often improvising when you go and adjusting recipes to fulfill your personal preferences. If you'd like less or more of ingredients or want to make a recipe somewhat more or less spicy in flavor you can make simple alterations on the way in order to attain this goal. In other words you will start punctually to create snacks of your individual. And that's something you won't of necessity learn when it comes to basic cooking skills for beginners but you would never know if you didn't master those basic cooking skills.
