CAJUN HAM

Baked Ham with a Secret Glaze Kwanzaa, an African-American Celebration of Culture and Cooking - Eric V. Copage We prefer using a bone-in ham, but this punchlike blend of wine, honey and pineapple juice is also just the thing to gussy up a canned ham.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Dry red wine
1/2 cup Pineapple juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 (6 pound) bone in smoked precooked ham

Preparation

In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, red wine, pineapple juice, and garlic. Place the ham in the marinade, turn to coat it, and let it stand at room temperature for at least 1 or up to 4 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Turn the ham in the marinade as many times as you remember to do so.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the ham on a rack in an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan, reserving the marinade. Bake the ham, basting often with the reserved marinade, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham (not touching the bone) reads 120 degrees, about 1 hour.

Cook's Notes

Note: For larger hams, allow 10 minutes per pound to heat the ham through, but baste only during the last hour of cooking or the glaze may scorch. Serves 8 to 10.
