Hams, Monte's Ham

By alas14

Ingredients

• 15-lb. smoked ham on the bone
• 1 1/2 cups orange marmalade
• 1 cup dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. whole cloves

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 300°. Trim tough outer skin and excess fat from ham. Place ham, meat side down, in a large roasting pan and score, making crosshatch incisions with a sharp knife. Roast for 2 hours.


2. Remove ham from oven and increase heat to 350°. For glaze, combine orange marmalade, mustard, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stud ham with whole cloves (stick one clove at the intersection of each crosshatch), then brush with glaze and return to oven.


3. Cook ham another 1 1/2 hours, brushing with glaze at least 3 times. Transfer to a cutting board or platter and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. Carve and serve warm or at room temperature.
