Submitted By: Taz

Ingredients:

5-8 lb Bone-In, Fully Cooked, Smoked Ham*
2 Tbs Unsalted Butter - cubed

Glaze:
1 ½ Cups Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider
½ Cup Pure Maple Syrup
½ Cup [Packed] Light Brown Sugar
3 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
2 Tbs Yellow Mustard
½ tsp Ground Allspice
¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
¼ tsp Ground Nutmeg

Preparation:
  1. Let ham sit at room temperature for 1 hour before baking
  2. Thoroughly combine all of the 'glaze' ingredients in a small/medium sauce pan, place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil
  3. Reduce to a simmer and allow to simmer (stirring often) for 15-20 minutes until thickened and reduced - Remove from heat and add the butter and thoroughly combine - Set aside until needed
  4. Preheat oven to 325ºF
  5. Place the ham fat-side down on a roasting rack in a roasting pan - Add 2 cups water to the bottom of the roasting pan - Tent with aluminum foil to keep the steam in
  6. Place in the bottom third of the pre-heated oven and roast until an internal temperature of 120ºF is achieved (apx 15 minutes per pound)
  7. Once the ham has reached temperature, remove from oven and uncover - Increase oven temperature to 450ºF
  8. Brush the ham with half of the glaze (if the water has fully evaporated from the bottom of the roasting pan, go ahead and add 1 cup) and return to the oven
  9. Allow to bake (uncovered) 30-45 minutes basing with additional glaze every 10 minutes until well browned and glossy
  10. Remove from oven and brush with one last time with glaze - Loosely tent with aluminum foil and allow to rest 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving hot
* Can use spiral cut OR whole ham - IF USING a whole ham, score the entire surface of the ham with
   ¼ inch deep cuts in a diamond pattern before tenting with foil (Step 5)
