Honey Baked Ham Recipe
Ingredients
| 1 fully-cooked smoked whole ham with bone (12 to 16 pounds), trimmed | ||
| Whole Cloves | 3 Tablespoon | |
| All purpose flour | 1 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| 2 tablespoons each honey and fresh orange juice | ||
| Orange marmalade | 2 Tablespoon | |
| 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard with seeds | ||
| 1 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg | ||
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ham, fat side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan. Using a small sharp knife, score the fat into diamonds and stud with the cloves. Pour 1 inch of hot water into the pan and bake, uncovered, 1/4 hours for a 12-pound ham, 2/4 hours for a 16-pound ham.
2. While the ham is baking, mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Remove the ham from the oven and with a sharp pointed knife, carefully remove the tough skin from the shank end. Using a spatula, spread the glaze over the ham. Continue baking 30 minutes longer or until the outside is browned and glazed.
3. Transfer to a warm platter, remove the cloves, and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. If you wish, surround with Sweet Potato Puffs in orange cups, steamed baby carrots, and cherry tomatoes; serve Beth's Buttermilk Biscuits too.
