    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 14-pound fully cooked smoked whole ham
    1/2 cup red currant jelly
    1 tablespoon grated orange peel
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    Cranberry-Orange Sauce (see below)
    Mustard Sauce (see below)
    green grapes and parsley for garnish

    1. Remove skin and trim some fat from whole ham, leaving about 1/4 inch fat
    covering.

    2. Place ham on rack in large roasting pan (17" by 11 1/2"). Insert meat
    thermometer into center of ham, being careful that pointed end of thermometer
    does not touch bone. Bake ham in 325 degrees F oven 2 1/2 hours.

    3. After ham has baked 2 1/2 hours, prepare glaze: In small saucepan over
    medium- high heat, heat currant jelly, orange peel, and allspice to boiling; boil 2
    minutes. Brush ham with some glaze. Bake ham 30 minutes to 1 hour longer,
    brushing occasionally with remaining glaze until thermometer reaches 140
    degrees F (15 to 18 minutes per pound total cooking time).

    4. Meanwhile, prepare Cranberry-Orange Sauce and Mustard Sauce.

    5. When ham is done, place on large platter; let stand 20 minutes for easier
    slicing.

    6. Garnish platter with grapes and parsley. Serve ham with sauces.

    CRANBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE:
    Grate peel from 2 large oranges. Cut white pith from oranges. Holding oranges
    over 3-quart saucepan to catch juice, cut sections from oranges between membrane,
    removing sections to plate as you cut. Chop sections; set aside. To same saucepan,
    add one 12-ounce bag cranberries (3 cups), 1 1/4 cups cranberry-juice cocktail, 1
    cup sugar, 1/2 cup dark seedless raisins, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; over
    high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes,
    stirring occasionally until mixture thickens and cranberries pop. Stir in chopped
    oranges and grated peel. Serve sauce warm or cover and refrigerate to serve cold.
    Makes about 3 1/2 cups.

    MUSTARD SAUCE:
    In medium bowl, stir together one 16-ounce container sour cream, 1/2 cup Dijon
    mustard with seeds, and 1 tablespoon prepared white horseradish. Cover
    sauce and refrigerate if not serving right away. Makes about 2 1/4 cups.
