Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place ham flat-side down in a 12 – 14-inch cast iron skillet (or use a large roasting pan). Pour the water into the pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, orange zest, brown sugar, bourbon, mustard, and cayenne pepper. Remove the foil cover on the ham; brush with glaze.
- Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the ham registers 140-145°F, about 1 hour more, brushing with the glaze every 20 minutes. Smaller 8-lb. hams might be done with just 45 more minutes, while larger hams might need at least another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Tent the ham loosely with foil at any point to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
- Let stand for 20 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with fresh orange slices and herbs, if desired.

Notes
- If you're not using a spiral-sliced ham, I recommend using a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham with ¼-inch-deep cuts in a diamond pattern. This will help infuse the flavor of the glaze into the meat.
- You can use this recipe with just about any size ham. A good rule of thumb to remember is that a bone-in smoked ham bakes at 325°F for 15 to 20 minutes per pound. For instance, I roasted an 8-lb. ham for 2 hours. As always, an instant read thermometer is the best way to know when your ham is done. When the temperature registers 140°F - 145°F, it’s safe to pull the meat out of the oven.
