I have only had this recipe 5 or 6 years although I don't know how old it is. I do know baked ham is an old item. I know both my grandparents had smokehouses and I can remember the hams hanging in them. Anyway, enjoy this recipe if you like a good baked ham
1 (8-9 lb fully cooked bone-in spiral sliced ham half
1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup orange marmalade
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup fresh orange juice, divided
Assorted citrus items for garnish, if desired
Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line a baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, marmalade, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the orange juice.
Place the ham sideways in the foil-lined pan. Brush 1/4 cup of the sugar mixture over the ham, gently pushing the glaze between slices. Pour the remaining orange juice into the bottom of the pan. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 1 1/2 hours.
Uncover ham and brush with 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture. Bake another 15 minutes then brush again with 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture. Bake about another 15 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham without touching the bone reads 140-degrees. Remove ham from the oven and brush with the remaining sugar mixture and pan drippings. Allow ham to stand 15 minutes. Garnish with citrus if desired.
Yield: 12 servings
