Crispy Fresh Ham with Rum Sauce

• 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons Sofrito
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup achiote (annatto) seeds
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 6 large garlic cloves, 4 minced, 2 thinly sliced
• Kosher salt
• One 14-pound bone-in fresh ham from the shank end (half leg), skin removed, fat scored
• 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
• 2 medium red bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 medium green bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Spanish pimiento-stuffed olives, thickly sliced
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 8 bananas, sliced 1/2 inch thick
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup dark rum
• 1/2 cup water

1. In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of the Sofrito with 1 cup of the oil, the wine, achiote seeds, oregano, minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt.
2. Let stand for 30 minutes.
3. Set the ham in a roasting pan and rub the marinade all over it.
4. Refrigerate overnight.
5. Preheat the oven to 400.
6. Add 1 inch of water to the roasting pan and roast the ham for 45 minutes.
7. Reduce the oven temperature to 275 and roast the ham for 5 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 155.
8. Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
9. Add the onions, red and green bell peppers, olives, 2 tablespoons of the Sofrito and the sliced garlic and cook over moderately low heat until the vegetables just begin to soften, about 6 minutes.
10. Add the vinegar and simmer for 3 minutes.
11. Stir in the bananas and season with salt and pepper.
12. Transfer the ham to a carving board and cover loosely with foil.
13. Set the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan juices to a boil.
14. Add the rum and simmer for 2 minutes.
15. Strain the pan juices into a bowl and skim off the fat.
16. Pour the juices into a medium saucepan.
17. Stir in the water and the remaining 1 cup of Sofrito and boil over moderate heat until reduced by half.
18. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids.
19. Season with salt and pepper.
20. Carve the ham and serve with the rum sauce and the pepper-banana saute.
