Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan with the fat side up. With a knife, lightly score the fat in a diamond pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Bake ham for 1 hour. While ham is baking, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine jam, Dijon, butter, sage, vinegar, bay leaf, cloves and cinnamon over medium-low heat. Stir until thin and syrupy. After ham has baked 1 hour, brush with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Continue to glaze the ham every 15 to 20 minutes for about an hour to an hour and a half longer, until the internal temperature reaches about 130F. If the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of greased foil. Remove ham from oven and tent with greased foil. Let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
