BAKED ORANGE HAM WITH MUSTARD FRUITS
Serves 16 - 325 degree oven
1 10 lb. fully cooked ham
whole cloves
1 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (is that even available anymore? - used oj from the carton)
3/4 cup orange marmalade
Mustard Fruits (recipe follows)
Place ham, fat side up, on a rack in a large shallow baking dish. Do not add water or cover the pan.
Bake in a slow oven (325 degrees) for 1 1/2 hours. Trim off skin, if any.
Score ham; stud with whole cloves. Mix orange juice (concentrate) and marmalade in a small bowl and brush over the ham.
Continue baking, brushing several times with remaining marmalade mixture; 30 minutes or until richly glazed. Place ham on a heated large serving platter and serve with Mustard Fruits on the side.
Mustard Fruits:
8 1/4 oz can sliced pineapple
30 oz can sliced peaches
30 oz can sliced pears
Drain juice from the pineapples into a 1-cup measure and add enough juice from the peaches to total 3/4 cup. Drain rest of the peach juice and pear juice. Combine fruit in a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish. Add 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1 tbsp dry mustard, 1/2 tsp ground ginger and 1/4 tsp ground cardamom to juice mixture. Stir to mix and pour over fruits. Bake, uncovered, along with the ham for 30 minutes; basting fruit often with the juice. Lift fruit out of the pan to a serving dish, and cook juice over direct heat until reduced by about half. Stir in a slice of lemon or lime. Spoon over fruit.
REVIEW: Surprisingly good, although, like alot of people, the husband isn't a huge fan of warm fruit with meat.
