Plum Glazed Ham
Precooked ham
Whole cloves
Glaze:
1/4 c. chutney, chopped
1/4 c. plum jam
1 tsp. rice wine vinegar (or white wine
vinegar)
1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. brown sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. With a
sharp knife remove any rind and excess
fat from ham. Score the remaining layer
of fat in a diamond pattern and stud
with cloves at each intersection. Place
ham on rack in roasting pan. If the ham
weighs 8 pounds, plan to cook it for 18
to 24 minutes per pound. If it is
larger, cook it 10 to 15 minutes per
pound. In a saucepan, combine chutney,
plum jam, vinegar, pepper sauce,
mustard, and garlic. Heat until mixture
is syrupy. One hour before ham is ready,
spread chutney mixture evenly over top
and sides of ham. Cover surface of ham
with brown sugar and continue baking
until ham has reached an internal
temperature of 125 to 130 degrees. If
you use an uncooked cured ham (be sure
to ask your butcher), it must be baked
longer to reach an internal temperature
of 160 degrees.
