Preparation

Step 1

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 1-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the ginger ale, brown sugar, honey and vinegar. Bring to a boil; cook until glaze is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients; cook 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Set aside 1 cup for sauce.
Baste ham with some of the remaining glaze. Bake 30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with additional glaze. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with reserved sauce. Yield: 16 servings.
