There are so many ways to cook a ham! I particularly love this one for the smokey sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully.
Ingredients
For the glaze, Simmer:
- 1/2 cup each dry sherry, honey, and apricot preserves
- 1/4 teaspoon each smoked paprika and ground allspice
- minced zest and juice of 2 oranges
- 3 cups fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon allspice berries
- 1 bone-in, spiral-sliced, smoked ham (6-8 lbs)
- Bring ham to room temperature, about 2 hours.
- For the glaze, simmer sherry, honey, preserves, paprika, ground allspice, zest, and juice of 2 oranges in a saucepan over medium heat reduced to 1-1 1/4 cups, about 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees with rack in lowest position.
- For the ham, combine 3 cups orange juice and all spice berries in a roasting pan. Place ham, cut side down, on a roasting rack set inside roasting pan.
- Brush one third of the glaze on the ham; seal the pan tightly with foil.
- Roast ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 100 degrees, about 15 minutes per pound (1.5-2 hours). Remove ham from oven; increase temperature to 425 degrees.
- Brush ham with half the remaining glaze; return to oven, uncovered. Continue roasting ham until an instant-read thermometer registers 110 degrees, about 20 minutes more.
- Transfer ham to a cutting board, brush with remaining glaze, loosely tent with foil, and let rest about 15 minutes before serving.
