GLAZED HAM 1 fully cooked ham (bone in), shank or butt end (6 to 8 lb.) 1 c. orange juice 1/4 c. frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 1/2 tsp. ground ginger whole cloves Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place ham in roasting pan, fat side up. (If using shank portion, trim off top skin layer first.) Insert meat thermometer into center of ham, being careful it doesn't touch the bone. Pour orange juice over ham. Bake for 1 hour. In a small bowl, mix together orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, mustard and ginger to make a glaze. Set aside. After an hour, remove ham from oven. Carefully trim away fat, leaving a 1/4-inch covering. Score fat with 1/4-inch deep cuts, crisscrossing them to form diamonds. Place one whole clove in center of each diamond. Brush ham once with glaze (reserve remaining glaze to baste ham). Return ham to oven and bake 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees, using brush to baste ham with glaze every 10 minutes. When ham is done, remove from oven. Let cool about 10 minutes before slicing. Serves 6 to 8.
