Brown Sugar & Cloves Baked Ham
for serving sauce:
1/2 C mayo
1/4 C dijon mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
for glaze:
2 Tbsp melted bacon grease
1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard
3 Tbsp thawed, frozen orange juice concentrate
3/4 C dark brown sugar
3/4 tsp ground cloves
If
possible, make the serving sauce the night before so the flavors have
time to meld. Just stir the ingredients together in a small bowl and
stash it in the fridge.
When you're ready to
bake your ham, preheat oven to 325, lower the oven rack to the second
lowest position, and line an approximately 8 by 12 inch baking dish with
foil. Place the ham in the dish fat side up. Insert an oven safe
thermometer probe into the thickest part of the ham (in the non-sliced
region). Cover the ham with foil. Bake until temperature of ham reaches 110 degrees.
While
the ham bakes, make the glaze by stirring together all of the glaze
ingredients. Remove ham from oven and generously brush the glaze all
over, on the outside as well as between the slices. It can be a little
tricky to get the glaze between the slices, but it's worth it, just try
not to tear the slices off the bone.
Return ham to oven and continue to bake to the temperature recommended on the
package, or 145 degrees. It will probably take about 3-3 1/2 hours for the ham to get up to temperature. Check on it occasionally and cover again with foil if it starts getting over browned. Remove ham from oven, tent with foil, and let
rest for at least 10 minutes before serving with the sauce on the side.
