15 pounds fully cooked boneless ham
3 tablespoons whole cloves
ham glaze
8 ounces brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1. Place ham fat side up on a rack in roasting pan. Do not cover. Bake at 325°F for approximately 2-2 1/2 hours.
2. Remove ham from oven about 30 minutes before it is done. Drain off drippings. Score ham 1/4 inch deep in diamond pattern. Stud with whole cloves. Cover with glaze.
3. HAM GLAZE: Combine ingredients for glaze. Spoon over ham. Repeat if heavier glaze is desired. Return ham to oven and bake until internal temperature reaches 155°F.
If using a whole cured ham, not precooked, increase cooking time to 4-4 1/2 hours; or simmer 3-4 hours in a kettle, then trim, glaze, and complete cooking in the oven.
GLAZE VARIATIONS:
Apricot Glaze. 1 cup apricot jam and 1/4 cup fruit juice or enough to cover ham.
Brown Sugar Glaze. 6 oz brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp dry mustard (or 3 Tbsp prepared mustard), and 1/4 cup vinegar.
Cranberry Glaze. 1 1/4 cups strained cranberry sauce, or enough to cover.
Honey Glaze. 1 cup honey, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup fruit juice. Baste with fruit juice or ginger ale.
