    Monte's Ham

    Source of Recipe

    Saveur Cooks Authentic American

    Recipe Introduction

    "Italian prosciutto can cost $20 to $25 a pound if Spain's legendary jabugo ham ever reaches these shores, it'll probably run at least twice that. Monte Mathews reports that he's never paid more than 99 cents a pound for a ham to use for this unfailingly popular party dish."

    List of Ingredients

    For Ham: One 15 lb. smoked ham, on the bone

    For Glaze: 1-1/2 cups orange marmalade
    1 cup dijon mustard
    1-1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
    1 rounded tbsp. whole cloves

    Recipe

    1. For ham, preheat oven to 300 degree F. Trim tough skin and excess fat from ham. Put ham in a large roasting pan and score, making crosshatch incisions over it with a sharp knife. Roast for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven and increase heat to 350 degrees F.

    2. For glaze, combine orange marmalade, mustard and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stud ham with cloves, inserting one at the intersection of each hatch, then brush entire surface of ham generously with glaze and return to oven.

    3. Cook ham another 1-1/2 hours, brushing with 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
