BAKED HAM RECIPE WITH FRUIT GLAZE

Steps:

• Take the ham out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour.
• Drain, rinse and pat dry the ham. Set the ham skin-side up on a cutting board.
• With a sharp paring knife, score the ham crossways at 2-inch intervals, making a diamond pattern. This will make it easier to remove the skin and excess fat later.
• Preheat oven to 325 F. Meanwhile mix up the ingredients for the glaze in a glass bowl and set it aside.
• Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil, and pour 2 cups of water into the pan.
• Set a roasting rack in the pan and place the ham, skin-side up, on the rack. Insert a probe thermometer into the deepest part of the ham, being careful not to hit the bone. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 3 hours or until the thermometer reads 120 F.
• Remove the ham from the oven, take out the thermometer, and with a pair of tongs pull the skin and excess fat off the ham. Leave about 1/4 inch of fat all around.
• Now generously brush the ham with the glaze so that it is thickly covered. Insert the probe thermometer in a different spot and return the ham to the oven. Bake for another hour or until the thermometer reads 140 F.
• Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for about 30 minutes, then carve and serve. One 15-pound ham will serve 20 people, but even if you have fewer people, the leftovers are wonderful. For a different sort of glaze, you can use maple syrup or honey in Step 8 instead of preserves.
