ROOT and Orange Glazed Ham

Here’s something new and fun to try this Easter.  I don’t personally eat ham, but I have a lot of friends and family members who do, so I thought I’d post this recipe I got from Art in the Age and their resident cooking guru, The Reverend Michael Alan.  

ROOT and Orange Glazed Ham
2/3 Cup Root
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
1/3 Cup Apple Cider
2 Tbsp Grainy Mustard
2 Tbsp fresh grated Ginger
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 7-8 lb Ham (bone in)
Cloves
Orange Slices

Heat an oven to 350.

In a saucepan add the Root, brown sugar, orange juice, apple cider, mustard,
ginger, cinnamon and pepper.  Simmer for about 30 minutes or until you get a
nice syrup.

Place ham cut side down in roasting pan and score the skin in a diamond
pattern. Secure slices of orange to the ham with cloves.

Pour half of the glaze all over the ham, cover with foil and roast for one
hour. Remove foil and coat with the remaining glaze- continue to roast for
another hour or so, basting intermittently.

Allow meat to rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
