Old-Fashioned Glazed Ham
- 1 1/2 cups apple cider
- 1 1/4 cups firmly packed dark-brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Creole mustard (see page 93)
- 1/4 cup cane syrup (see page 243)
- One 10-pound bone-in ham
- Whole cloves for studding
- Simmer the apple cider in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced by one-half; cool to room temperature.
- Combine the sugar, mustard, cane syrup, and reduced cider in a bowl, and stir to form a thick paste.
- Position the rack in the bottom third of oven and preheat the oven to 325F.
- Line a large roasting pan with heavy-duty foil, leaving an overhang on all sides.
- Trim off the skin and all but 1/4 inch of fat from ham.
- Place the ham fat-side up in the prepared pan.
- Roast the ham until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 130 to 135F, about 10 minutes per pound.
- Remove the ham from the oven; increase the oven temperature to 425F.
- Lightly score the fat on the ham in a diamond pattern, and stud the intersection of cuts with whole cloves.
- Brush glaze thickly over the top and sides of the ham.
- Return the ham to the oven, and roast until the glaze is deep brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes.
- Let the ham stand for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
