Citrus Glazed Ham

Citrus Glazed Ham

Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and lower oven shelf to the bottom level.

Using a sharp knife, cut several slits into the ham. Rub 1/2 cup of brown sugar on the Ham. Place in a roasting pan with a rack, and put into the oven. Bake for 1 hours then lower the temp to 225 degrees and bake for 2 more hours (low and slow)

The glaze:
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup honey
1/3 large orange, juiced and zested
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and ground cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Cover and Set aside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Ham has baked for 3 hrs, Remove ham from oven, and brush with glaze. Raise oven temp to 325 degrees, Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes.

I also at this time tack some pineapple rings to it with tooth picks and allow the glaze to mold them to the ham..
