One of my family's favorite holiday ham recipes -perfect for Easter or New Year's celebrations. The glaze is really wonderful- half gets brushed onto the ham and baked, the remainder gets passed at the table. Enjoy! Ingredients:
10 lbs bone-in ham, rind removed |
whole cloves |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup bourbon (or orange juice) |
1 (12 ounce) jar orange marmalade (best with a slightly bitter marmalade such as hero) |
1 cup crushed pineapple |
3 teaspoons prepared mustard (french's yellow mustard) |
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained |
10 -12 maraschino cherries |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Using a sharp knife, score the ham into a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart.
3. Stud the ham with whole cloves in the center of each diamond.
4. Place ham fat side up in a shallow roasting pan (for easy clean-up line pan with aluminum foil, or use a heavy-duty disposable aluminum pan).
5. Bake ham for 2 1/2 hours.
6. Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar, bourbon, orange marmalade, crushed pineapple, and prepared mustard. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
7. Remove ham from the oven.
8. Spoon half of the glaze/sauce over the ham.
9. Decorate ham with pineapple rings, using a few toothpicks to hold ring in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring, and attach it with a toothpick.
10. Return ham to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
11. Transfer ham to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving (be sure to remove all toothpicks).
12. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
