Bourbon, Pineapple And Orange Glazed Holiday Ham - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 lbs bone-in ham, rind removed
whole cloves
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Bourbon (or orange juice)
1 (12 ounce) jar orange marmalade (best with a slightly bitter marmalade such as Hero)
1 cup crushed pineapple
3 teaspoons prepared mustard (French's yellow mustard)
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained
10 -12 maraschino cherries

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325\u00b0F.
Using a sharp knife, score the ham into a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart.
Stud the ham with whole cloves in the center of each diamond.
Place ham fat side up in a shallow roasting pan (for easy clean-up line pan with aluminum foil, or use a heavy-duty disposable aluminum pan).
Bake ham for 2 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, stir together the brown sugar, bourbon, orange marmalade, crushed pineapple, and prepared mustard. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
Remove ham from the oven.
Spoon half of the glaze/sauce over the ham.
Decorate ham with pineapple rings, using a few toothpicks to hold ring in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring, and attach it with a toothpick.
Return ham to the oven and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Transfer ham to a platter and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving (be sure to remove all toothpicks).
Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
