Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Ham
  • 8–10 lb bone-in ham, butt or shank portion 3.6–4.5 kg
Glaze
  • 1/4 cup honey 85 g
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar 165 g
  • 3 tbsp orange juice 45 mL
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Method
 

Ham
  1. Allow the ham to stand at room temperature for no less than 1 hour.
  2. Set oven to 325°F (165°C).
  3. Cut ½ inch deep scores into the ham in a diamond pattern. Set it flat side down on a rack inside a shallow roasting pan and roast for 1 hour.
  4. In the meantime, stir together all glaze components in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking until uniform, about 3 minutes.
  5. Take ham out of oven, coat with half the glaze, pressing it into the scored cuts, and roast 30 minutes.
  6. Take ham out of oven, apply glaze again, and roast another 30 minutes.
  7. After 2 hours, verify internal temperature; it must register at least 125°F (50°C) at the center, steering clear of the bone.
Glaze
  1. When the ham hits 125°F (50°C), take it out of oven, drape loosely with foil, and let rest at least 20 minutes prior to carving.
