Spiced glazed ham

Michael Graydon

Ingredients

  • 2.5 to 4 kg bone-in cooked ham , preferably smoked
  • 1 cup apricot jam
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp dark rum
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Position rack in lower third of oven. Preheat oven to 325F. Slice off and discard ham rind and netting. Trim off all but 1/4-in. layer of fat. Place ham on a rack in a heavy roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score top and sides of ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 in. deep. Pour water into pan to reach about 1 in. up the sides. Cover ham with foil. Bake 15 min per 500 g, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours total.
  • Stir jam with sugar, rum and spices in a medium bowl. Mixture will be lumpy.
  • Transfer ham to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Increase oven temperature to 350F. Spread 1/3 of jam mixture over ham. Return to oven. Bake, uncovered, 10 min. Spread with another 1/3 of jam mixture. Continue baking 10 min. Spread with remaining jam mixture. Bake 10 more min. Let stand 10 min before slicing.
