Baked Ham with Pineapple-Seeded
Mustard Glaze
1 (8-pound) bone-in smoked ham (preferably
the shank end)
1 cup pineapple preserves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line
a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
- Using a sharp knife, trim off all the
skin except for a 1- to 2-inch band around the shank. Trim off
all of the fat, leaving a less than 1/4-inch thick layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk the preserves,
Dijon mustard, and mustard seeds, and set aside.
- Place the ham on a roasting rack in the
pan and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest
part of the ham (without touching the bone) registers 140°F (60°C), about
2 hours (allow 15 minutes per pound). After 1 hour, baste with
half of the glaze. After 30 minutes, baste with the remaining
glaze.
- Transfer the ham to a carving bowl or
platter. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes before carving.
Makes 16 to 24 servings.
