Because fresh ham is an uncured leg of pork, it will be grayish instead of pink-colored. The bone is tricky to remove, so ask your butcher to do it for you. Ingredients:
1/2 cup maple syrup |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
3 tablespoons bourbon |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 (6 3/4-pound) fresh ham, boned |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 teaspoons salt, divided |
1 teaspoon pepper, divided |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in ginger and allspice; let cool slightly.
2. Unroll ham, and trim fat. Spread 1/3 cup syrup mixture and garlic over inside surface of ham, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Reroll ham, and secure at 2-inch intervals with heavy string. Spread 3 tablespoons syrup mixture over ham, and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper.
3. Place ham on a broiler pan, and insert meat thermometer into thickest portion of ham. Bake at 350° for 2 hours or until thermometer registers 160°, basting with remaining syrup mixture after 1 hour.
4. Place ham on a serving platter; cover with aluminum foil, and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
