Pepper Crusted Ham with Raspberry Sauce




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1 (9- to 10-lb.) cooked bone-in ham (rump half or shank portion)
1 recipe Raspberry Sauce
1 T. pink or 1/2 tsp. black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
Fresh raspberries (optional)
Fresh herb sprigs (optional)


Recipe



Preheat oven to 325ºF. If necessary, score ham by making diagonal cuts in fat in a diamond pattern. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of meat not touching bone. Bake ham until thermometer registers 130ºF. Allow 1 1/2 hours to 2 1/4 hours. Meanwhile, prepare Raspberry Sauce.

Brush ham with some of the Raspberry Sauce. Bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until thermometer registers 135ºF, brushing once or twice with additional Raspberry Sauce. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with pink or black peppercorns. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise 5 degrees during standing.)

Carve ham. Reheat any remaining Raspberry Sauce; pass with ham. If desired, garnish platter with fresh raspberries and sprigs of fresh herbs. Makes 16 to 20 servings.

Raspberry Sauce
1 1/2 C. seedless raspberry preserves
2 T. white vinegar
2 or 3 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced

In a medium saucepan stir together preserves, vinegar, chipotles, and garlic. Bring just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Makes about 1 3/4 cups.
