Instructions
- Move oven rack to lower third portion of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line bottom of a roasting pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and set aside.
- Add orange marmalade, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, bourbon, lemon juice, ground ginger and salt and pepper to a mixing bowls and whisk to combine well. Set aside.
- Remove ham from package and pat dry if too wet.
- Place ham on roasting rack, flat side down, so the fatty side is facing up.
- Gently score the ham in a criss-cross pattern, and brush all over with 1/2 cup of the prepared glaze.
- Cover ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent drying out or burning.
- Bake for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, until instant thermometer inserted into the middle of the ham registers 125-130 degrees F.
- Remove roasting pan from the oven and peel back or remove foil from the top and sides of the ham.
- Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Brush 6 Tbsp of glaze over the ham and bake for 20 minutes, brushing ham with additional 6 Tbsp of glaze every 6-7 minutes. You'll be brushing the ham with glaze approximately 3 times during this step.
- Be sure to watch that the glaze doesn't burn, but instead turns a rich, deep golden color.
- Remove roasting pan from oven and place ham on a large cutting board.
- Tent loosely with foil and let ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- TO PREPARE SPIRAL SLICED HALF HAM:
- total
- TO MAKE MUSTARD SAUCE FOR SERVING: Mix 1/2 cup whole grain Dijon mustard with 1/4 cup glaze.2. Recipe adapted from issue 96 of Fine Cooking magazine.
- Preheat oven to 275 F degrees. Adjust oven rack to the lower third position. Line a roasting pan or large dutch oven with a long strip of foil (heavy duty works best).
- Position ham flat side down in center of pan.
- Brush with 1/2 cup of the glaze, if possible, getting some in between the slices.
- Bring sides of the foil up over the ham and cover loosely. If needed, add a sheet of foil over the top.
- Bake approximately 12-15 minutes per pound. For a half ham of 8-10 lbs, plan on baking for a total of approximately 2 hours (including glazing time).
- To glaze, remove ham from oven about 30 minutes before it's finished. For a half ham, remove after about 1 hour 30 minutes and uncover. Liberally brush ham with 1/2 cup glaze, getting in between slices if possible. Bake 30 minutes, repeating with a few tablespoons of glaze every 10-15 minutes if desired.
- For a stickier glaze, after ham is finished baking, broil for a few minutes until sticky and browned. Be careful though, you don't want to burn it!
- Remove ham from oven, loosely tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes.
- Turn ham on it's side and serve.
