Baked Ham with Honey-Chipotle Glaze
(Thank you Lauren and Ramon!!)
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8-10 lbs)
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 T. honey
2 T. cider vinegar
2-1/4 cups ginger ale
4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsps Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp cumin
Preheat oven to 325. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham with 1/2 inch deep cuts in a diamond pattern. Bake uncovered 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, for glaze, in a small saucepan, mix brown sugar, honey, vinegar, and ginger ale. Bring to a boil; cook until mixture is reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Reserve 1 cup mixture for sauce; keep warm.
Brush ham with some of the remaining glaze. Bake uncovered until a thermometer reads 140, about 30 minutes, brushing twice with additional glaze. Serve with reserved sauce.
