Baked Ham with JAckie’s Jams Glaze

 

So easy to do with a “Ready to Eat” bone-in Smoked Ham

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (15-pound) bone-in smoked ham, labeled "ready to eat" or "ready to serve" - Costco has a good one.

  • 1 cup Jackie’s Jams; apple, apricoty, peach cobbler

  • 2 tablespoons prepared Dijon mustard

  • 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Take the ham out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour.

  • Drain, rinse and pat dry the ham. Set the ham skin-side up on a cutting board.

  • With a sharp paring knife, score the ham cross ways at 2-inch intervals, making a diamond pattern. This will make it easier to remove the skin and excess fat later.

  • Preheat oven to 325 F.

  • Mix up the ingredients for the glaze in a glass bowl and set it aside.

  • Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil, and pour 2 cups of water into the pan.

  • Set a roasting rack in the pan and place the ham, skin-side up, on the rack. Insert a probe thermometer into the deepest part of the ham, being careful not to hit the bone. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 3 hours or until the thermometer reads 120 F.

  • Remove the ham from the oven, take out the thermometer, and pull the skin and excess fat off the ham. Leave about 1/4 inch of fat all around.

  • Now generously brush the ham with the glaze so that it is thickly covered. Insert the probe thermometer in a different spot and return the ham to the oven. Bake for another hour or until the thermometer reads 140 F.

  • Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 30 minutes, then carve and serve.

One 15-pound ham will serve 20 people, so make it for a Holiday or any gathering.
