Brown Sugar Glazed Ham
Serves: 10 to 12
 
Ingredients
  • 1 1⁄4 cups water, divided
  • 1 (10-to 11-pound) bone-in smoked ham (shank portion)
  • 2⁄3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2⁄3 cup cane syrup
  • 1⁄3 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Garnish: green and red grapes, fresh bay leaves
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.
  3. Bake for 1 hour. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cane syrup, vinegar, paprika, salt, and remaining 1⁄4 cup water. Uncover ham, and brush with brown sugar mixture. Loosely cover and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 160°, about 1 1⁄2 hours more, brushing occasionally with brown sugar mixture. (Add additional water, if necessary.) Place ham on a serving platter. Garnish with grapes and bay leaves, if desired.
