Glazed Ham

Recipe yield: 12 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (8 pound) bone-in shank ham
• 4 cups water, or as needed
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pinch ground cloves

DIRECTIONS

1.  Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. (135 degrees C.)  Place ham in a roasting pan.  Pour in water to a 2 inch depth.  Cover with a tight fitting lid.

2.  Bake 6 to 8 hours in the preheated oven (all day or all night).  Remove from the oven, pour off drippings and reserve.  Debone ham, removing any excess fat as well, and return to the roasting pan.

3.  Skim the fat from the top of the drippings and discard.  In a small bowl, mix one cup of the drippings with the honey, brown sugar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce and cloves.  Pour this over the ham, cover and return to the oven.  Remaining drippings may be discarded or reserved for other use such as gravy.

4.  Bake for 30 or 40 minutes in the preheated oven.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
