Brown Sugar–Glazed Ham
 
Makes 10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups water, divided
  • 1 (10- to 11-pound) bone-in smoked ham (shank portion)
  • ⅔ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup cane syrup
  • ⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Garnish: green and red grapes, bay leaves
  • Spicy Cheddar Biscuits
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Line a roasting pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. Pour 1 cup water in pan.
  2. Using a sharp knife, lightly score outside of ham. Place ham in prepared pan; loosely cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ¼ cup water, brown sugar, cane syrup, vinegar, paprika, and salt. Uncover ham, and brush with brown sugar mixture.
  4. Bake, loosely covered, until a meat thermometer registers 160°, about 1 hour and 30 minutes more, brushing with brown sugar mixture occasionally. (Add additional water to pan, and loosely cover with foil to prevent excess browning, if needed.) Place ham on a serving platter. Garnish with grapes and bay leaves, if desired.
