Things To Grab
- Medium saucepan
- Whisk
- Sharp chef's knife
- Roasting pan with rack
- Silicone pastry brush
- Oven-safe meat thermometer
- Aluminum foil
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Using a sharp knife, score ham by making diagonal cuts in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep. Do not score the meat itself, just the fat and any skin. Place the cloves in the center of the diamonds to form a nice pattern around the top and sides of the ham. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into center of ham. The thermometer should not touch bone.
Brush ham with about one-third of the Pomegranate-Pepper Jelly Glaze (reserve the rest for later in cooking). Try to work the glaze into the scored lines.
- Roast for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer registers 140 degrees. Brush ham with remaining glaze a couple times during roasting so the top is lightly caramelized.
- Remove ham from oven and brush all over with pan juices. Cover with foil and let rest 15 minutes before serving.
To serve, transfer ham to a serving platter. Discard the cloves.
