Ingredients
- •Ham, Smoked, Bone-In(4536g)
- •Garlic, Roasted(60g)
- •Honey(60g)
- •Orange Juice, Fresh(60g)
- •Mustard, Dijon(15g)
Dijon mustard — Grey Poupon or store brand. Spicier than yellow mustard.
- •Thyme, Fresh(15g)
- •Cinnamon, Ground(5g)
- •1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center position.
- 2Combine ½ cup water, the roasted garlic, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, and ground cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil—about 3–5 minutes—then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- 3Place the ham in a large roasting pan and brush with about one-third of the glaze. Roast at 350°F for 50 minutes until the exterior begins to caramelize.
- 4Brush the ham with half of the remaining glaze and continue roasting at 350°F for another 50 minutes until the surface deepens in color.
- 5Brush the ham with the final portion of glaze and roast at 350°F for 10–40 minutes more (depending on ham size) until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 140°F. If the ham begins to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
- 6Remove the ham from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- 7Carve the ham and divide evenly into 12 portions. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
