PREPARE: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

CREATE BREAD BOWL: With a serrated knife, slice off the top of the bread parallel to the loaf. Afterwards scoop out as much of the inside of the bread as you can without tearing through the crust. Then cut leftover bread into cubes and store in an airtight container to serve with the dip.

ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Fill the hollowed-out loaf of bread with the prepared ham dip. Then wrap loaf with a piece of aluminum foil, tenting the foil loosely over the dip.  Afterward, bake for 45 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes to toast the top of the dip. Serve with bread cubes and other dippers.

Make Ahead

You can make the creamy dip mixture a couple of hours or up to 2 days ahead of time. Make sure to store in an airtight container or cover tightly with plastic wrap before transferring it to the fridge. When you are ready to serve, scoop dip into a hollowed-out bread or baking dish and bake according to the instructions in the recipe.

How To Store

Refrigerate: Store leftover Mississippi sin dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. We recommend removing the leftovers from the bread bowl before storage.

Freeze: Due to the high cream cheese and sour cream content, we do not recommend freezing hot ham and cheese dip leftovers. The consistency of the dip might not be very appetizing after it thaws.

How To Reheat

Reheat Mississippi sin dip leftovers in the microwave or in the oven until hot and bubbly.

Author Andrea + Stef

Equipment

• mixing bowl
• cooking spoon or spatula
• knife and cutting board
• baking sheet

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 16 oz sour cream
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup ham diced
• ½ cup green onions diced
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese (about 8 oz)
• 1 loaf French bread round

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly combined.
  
• Stir in ham, green onions, and cheddar cheese.
  
• Slice the top of the loaf of French bread off parallel to the loaf.
  
• Then scoop out as much of the bread as you can without tearing through the crust. Cut excess bread into cubes and store in an airtight container to serve with the dip.
  
• Fill hollowed out loaf with the prepared dip. 
  
• Wrap with aluminum foil, tenting the foil loosely over the dip.
  
• Bake for 35 minutes. Afterwards, remove the foil, top with some extra cheese, if desired, and bake for another 10 minutes to toast the top of the dip. Garnish with some sliced green onions and serve.
  

Notes

• Tip: Soften cream cheese to almost room temperature. That way it blends smoothly with the other dip ingredients.
• Tip: Grate your own cheese. Pre-grated cheese contains additives and therefore does not provide the same amazing flavor as freshly grated cheese.
• Tip: Be careful when you hollow out your bread loaf. Do not cut too deep or the dip will leak out during baking.

Make the perfect, juicy brown sugar glazed ham with our apricot ham sauce and brown sugar glaze. Make the sauce with ground cloves, nutmeg, ginger, mustard and apricot preserves and orange juice. This will fill your spiral ham with the most delicious flavors. Then caramelize your ham with our amazing brown sugar glaze.

Enjoy brown sugar glazed ham as a full meal:

• Side Dish: Brussels Sprouts– Once roasted, these are the perfect combo of crunchy and savory.
• Bread: Pizza Dough Garlic Knots – Make these with premade pizza dough. They couldn’t be easier!
• Potatoes: Creamy Mashed Potatoes – These potatoes pair perfectly with ham.
• Dessert: Pineapple Upside Down Mini Cakes – This needs no introduction!

Ingredients:

• Spices: Using dried spices you probably already have in your spice drawer. We love ground cloves, ground nutmeg, ground ginger and ground mustard.
• Preserves: Apricot preserves take this ham to the next level.
• Sugar: This brown sugar glazed ham calls for both light brown sugar as well as granulated sugar.
• Orange Juice: Fresh or from the grocery!
• Salted Butter: A little butter helps make the perfect brown sugar glazed ham.

How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Ham:

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 275°F.

Make Ham Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the basting sauce ingredients. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally until the sugar and jam have dissolved. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.

• 

• 

Prepare Ham: Remove the pre-cooked ham from its packaging. Place the ham, cut side down, on a rack in a large roasting pan.

Baste Ham: Use a pastry brush to coat the ham with the basting sauce. The sauce will be runny, some will run down into the roasting pan and that is fine. Baste the sauce between the layers of ham as much as possible.

Bake Ham: Cover the ham and pan with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 2 ½ hours. (The ham is already cooked through, so you are heating it to serving temperature, typically 140°F.) Check the ham every 30 minutes or so and brush the juices up over the ham to baste it (optional).

When the ham is heated through, remove it from the oven and discard the aluminum foil. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.

Make Brown Sugar Glaze Combine the glaze ingredients (sugar, butter, and brown sugar) in a small saucepan and heat over medium until the butter is melted and the mixture forms a paste.

Brush the glaze all over the outside of the ham.

• 

• 

• 

Caramelize Ham: Place the ham back into the oven (no cover) and cook for 10-20 minutes longer until the sugar glaze caramelizes. Be careful not to burn the glaze. Remove from the oven.

Let ham sit for about 10 minutes before serving.

Expert Tips

In the past, I would go to the store, buy whatever ham was available, and cook it with the spices provided in the package. It’s no wonder I hated ham! Follow these tips for a delicious brown sugar glazed ham you’ll love.

What type of ham to buy?

• Fully Cooked:  You can find both cooked and uncooked hams at the grocery store. This recipe requires a pre-cooked ham. That means it’s safe to eat right out of the package. Double check your ham package to make sure it says fully cooked.
• Bone in:  A bone-in ham with have the best shape and texture. Most hams that have the bone removed have been reshaped and processed more and will not taste the same as unprocessed ham.
• Spiral Cut:  A spiral cut ham is cut in a continuous spiral cut all the way through the ham. You’ll be able to easily pull away the ham slices easily. And you won’t have to cut the ham! Plus, the recipe is best if you can baste the individual slices with the apricot ham sauce.

• 

• 

Adjust the spices to your taste

Feel free to adjust the basting sauce spices and flavors. Honey is a great sweetener if you are trying to avoid processed sugars. You can also use pure maple syrup.

Substitute orange marmalade or peach preserves for the apricot preserves if you’d like.

Optional ways to finish the ham

• Baked:  Finish the ham as directed in the instructions at 425°F for 10 to 20 minutes. This will caramelize the ham evenly all over.
• Broiled:  To get that perfectly browned caramelized crust on your ham you can also place the ham under the broiler to finish off the glaze – this will caramelize the glaze much more quickly but is also more susceptible to burning or burning the top without caramelizing the sides. Watch it closely.

Variations

• Orange marmalade: Substitute the apricot jam/preserves for orange marmalade.
• Maple syrup: Omit the glaze in this recipe and warm a pure maple syrup to use as a glaze.
• Add wine: Use a ½ cup of sweet wine with ½ cup of orange juice in the ham sauce.

Notes

Be sure that you are preparing a pre-cooked ham and follow the heating recommendations on the ham packaging. (Discard any glaze or rub sold with the ham as you are making your own.)

Ham can also be served cold. Cook with the basting sauce for less time (or skip the basting sauce completely) and simply use the glaze recipe/instructions for a caramelized coating.

Feel free to adjust the basting sauce spices and flavors. Honey is a great sweetener. Warming spices go nicely with a ham. Substitute orange marmalade or peach preserves for the apricot preserves if you’d like.

You can also place the ham under the broiler to finish off the glaze – this will caramelize the glaze much more quickly but is also more susceptible to burning or burning the top without caramelizing the sides.
