Classic Glazed Ham




Source of Recipe


USA Weekend


Recipe Introduction


Prep time: 12 minutes
Cooking time: 4 to 5 hours



List of Ingredients




1 bone-in ham half, 7 to 9 pounds, "with water added" and with as much surface fat as possible (if rind covers a portion of the ham, slit the rind with a small sharp knife, then pull to remove, leaving fat intact)
Glaze (see recipe under MARINADES)

Recipe



Adjust oven rack to low position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Remove any tough rind (but not fat) from ham with a sharp knife. Starting at cut end of ham, score fat with the knife to create a diamond pattern on the ham's surface. Line a shallow roasting pan with a sheet of foil. Place ham, cut surface down, on a wire rack set over foil-lined pan. Bake ham until scored fat is very visible, about 1 hour.

Remove ham from oven and brush surface with the entire glaze. Return ham to oven; bake until meat thermometer inserted deep into the ham's center registers 140 degrees, 3 to 4 hours longer, depending on ham's internal temperature at the start of roasting. (Total roasting time is 4 to 5 hours, or about 30 minutes per pound.)

Remove from oven. Let rest 5 minutes. Carve and serve.

Serves: 10 to 12, with leftovers.
