Ingredients
- 1 (6-8 pound) ham, fully cooked and bone-in
- whole cloves, to taste
- 1 1/4 cups orange soda
- 1 1/4 cups orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Step 2 –Transfer the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Step 3 –Use a sharp knife to score 1/2-inch-deep diamond shapes over the top and sides of the ham and insert a clove in the center of the diamonds.
Step 4 –Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Step 5 –About 20 minutes before the ham is done, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the orange soda, the orange marmalade, and the brown sugar, bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Step 6 –Add the mustard to the marmalade mixture and mix well.
Step 7 –Transfer the glaze from the heat.
Step 8 –Transfer the cooked ham to a wire rack.
Step 9 –Use a pastry brush to coat the entire surface of the ham with the glaze.
Step 10 –Bake the glazed ham, basting it occasionally with the remaining glaze or the pan drippings, until it is heated through and reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F, about 15-30 minutes.
Step 11 –Slice the ham and serve.
