Ingredients
- 1 8 pound bone-in, fully-cooked ham (shank end or butt end)
- 1 cup apple cider apple juice or water
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup marmalade bitter or sweet
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon hot honey or honey plus ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 3 tablespoons Big O liqueur bourbon or dark rum
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons ginger paste or 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Read all notes before beginning.
- Remove the ham from the fridge 2 hours before cooking.
- Thirty minutes before cooking , heat oven to 325°F and spray a roasting pan with nonstick spray. Line the pan with foil and spray the foil.
- To prepare the glaze, combine all glaze ingredients in a medium-size saucepan, set over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 10 minutes or until the mixture reduces and thickens.
- Score a diamond pattern, with a sharp knife, in the ham just through the skin & fat layer. Cut the skin/fat layer about ¼-inch deep, with the parallel lines about 2-inches apart.
- Pour cider into the bottom of the pan and set the ham flat side-down in the middle.
- Reserve ½ of the glaze; set aside for serving.
- Brush the glaze over the ham and place the ham on the center rack in the oven. Bake the ham at 325°F for 1½ hours, glazing every 30 minutes.
- If the ham is browning too quickly, spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and loosely place it, sprayed side-down, over the ham. The ham should take 10-15 minutes per pound to heat through. Remember the ham is already cooked, it just needs to be cooked through – the internal temperature should register 115°F on an instant read thermometer.
- Remove the foil, if using.
- When the ham has reached the desired internal temperature, baste it one more time. If the ham needs additional browning/caramelizing, set the oven to broil and let it brown 1-2 minutes – watch very closely.
- Remove the pan from the oven and brush it with pan juices. Cover with aluminum foil and allow it to rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

Notes
Note: Remove the ham from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before cooking.
Slicing a bone-in ham is a little tricky, but here are a two suggestions that might help.
First, cut around the bone with a sharp, thin knife, then slice off pieces horizontally, around the bone.
Or…stand the ham upright on the flat side and make slices vertically down and around the ham and bone.
