This simple to make main dish is perfect for the holidays. The ham is savory and sweet, made with light brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, blood oranges.
2 blood oranges, sliced
1 c. water
6 lb. bone-in, fully cooked ham
1 1/2 T. whole cloves
3 fresh rosemary sprigs, plus more for garnish
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. packed light brown sugar
2 1/2 T. Dijon mustard
1/8 t. ground allspice
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a shallow roasting pan and its rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Add 1 c. water and half of the orange slices to the prepared pan.
Place ham on a cutting board; lightly score the ham in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, no deeper than 3/4 inch. Push cloves into the centers of the diamonds.
Transfer the ham ham to the roasting rack; tent with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, while ham is baking, make the glaze in a medium saucepan, bring remaining ingredients and orange slices to a slow boil over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2–5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
Remove ham from the oven; brush all over with the glaze. Replace foil; bake 2 hours, brushing on more glaze every 20 minutes.
Remove ham from oven; discard foil; increase oven heat to broil.
Brush with the glaze; broil until the glaze has caramelized, 3–5 minutes.
Remove ham from the oven. Let ham rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve, garnished with orange slices, rosemary and the remaining glaze.
