Monte's Ham
Recipe By : Saveur Cooks Authentic American
Serves 20 to 30.

1 smoked ham -- 15 lb. on the bone

GLAZE:
1 1/2 cups orange marmalade
1 cup Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups brown sugar -- firmly packed
1 tablespoon whole cloves

1. For ham, preheat oven to 300°F. Trim tough outer skin and excess fat from ham. Put ham in a large roasting pan and score, making crosshatch incisions all over it with a sharp knife. Roast for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven and increase heat to 350°F.

2. For glaze, combine orange marmalade, mustard, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Stud ham with cloves, inserting one at the intersection of each crosshatch, then brush entire surface of ham generously with glaze and return to oven.

3. Cook ham another 1 1/2 hours, brushing with glaze at least 3 times. Transfer to a cutting board or platter and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. Carve and serve warm or at room temperature.
