This hellacious smoked ham isn't afraid to bring the flavor. It's sweet from an orange juice baste, spiced from cinnamon and cloves, and show-stopping topped with pineapple and maraschino cherries.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  2-5 hrs

ingredients

7 pounds smoked bone-in ham
1 can (6 ounce size) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 whole cloves
2 cans (8 ounce size) sliced pineapple in juice, drained well, juices reserved
8 maraschino cherries, drained

directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.

Trim the skin and fat from the ham to leave a 1/4-inch layer of fat. Place ham, fat side up, on a rack in the lined roasting pan.

In a small bowl, orange juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread over the top and sides of ham.

Roast, uncovered, basting occasionally for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven. Discard the foil with the scorched pan juices. Line the pan again with aluminum foil. Stud the ham with the cloves and return to the pan.

Pour the pineapple juice over the ham. Continue baking, basting occasionally, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham, not touching a bone, reads about 140 degrees F, about 30 minutes.

Remove from the oven. To garnish, pierce the cherries with toothpicks. Use the toothpicks to attach the pineapple rings to the ham. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let stand for 15 minutes.

cook's notes

Bone in ham has the most flavor. The glaze will work on canned ham also.
