Root Beer Ham
List of Ingredients
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 12-ounce bottles Barq's root beer
1 1/2 Tbs. pepper jelly
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 Tbs. Tabasco Caribbean style steak sauce
6 cloves
1 stick cinnamon
Peel and juice of one-half an orange
Peel of half a lemon
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the ham in a broiling pan and cut shallow gashes in a criss-cross pattern across the top half. Combine the brown sugar and the dry mustard and pat it all over the ham. Put the ham in the oven.
Combine all the other ingredients in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a simmer, and cook until the liquid volume is reduced to about one cup. Strain.
Spoon some of the glaze over the top of the ham. Spoon more glaze, at 15-minute intervals, until it's all used up. Try to get some glaze on all parts of the ham. Continue baking until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees on a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for one hour before carving.
