Ingredients

• 10-12 pound
  

  Uncooked, Smoked, Bone-in Ham

• 1 cup
  

  Water

• 10 ounces
  

  Orange Marmalade

• 1/2 cup
  

  Dijon Mustard

• 1 cup
  

  Light Brown Sugar

• Zest of One Orange
  
  
• Juice of One Orange
  
  
• Whole Fancy Cloves

Directions

Rinse the ham and cover in foil. Add one cup of water. Bake in a 275 degree oven or electric roaster for three hours.

Remove from heat and cool until able to touch. Carefully trim the rind and outer layer of fat from ham with a sharp knife. Score the outside of the ham in a criss-cross pattern. Then in the squares created, insert the whole cloves in a decorative pattern.

Combine the marmalade, mustard, brown sugar, zest and juice in a small bowl. Return the ham to the oven or roaster. Turn heat up to 400 degrees and pour half the glaze over the ham. Cook an additional hour, checking internal temperature of ham, and re-glazing every 15 minutes. Once the internal temp is 148, the ham is cooked and ready to serve.

Remove from oven and slice against the grain on a cutting board. Place slices on a serving tray and serve.
