Yield: 28 servings (serving size: about 3 ounces meat)
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup peach preserves
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (7 1/2-pound) 33%-less-sodium smoked, fully cooked ham half
- 20 whole cloves
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup water
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 325°.
2. Combine preserves and bourbon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Stir in cumin, ginger, coriander, and pepper. Cool slightly.
3. Trim fat and rind from ham. Score outside of ham in a diamond pattern; stud with cloves. Place ham on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Pour 1 cup water into pan; place rack in pan. Brush ham with 1/4 cup preserves mixture. Bake at 325° for 2 hours or until a thermometer registers 140°, basting ham with remaining preserves mixture every 30 minutes. Transfer ham to a platter; let stand 15 minutes. Discard cloves before serving.
