Equipment

large roasting pan
aluminum foil
basting brush optional, but helpful

Ingredients

8 lb spiral sliced ham
1 large orange thinly sliced
1 cup orange marmalade
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Remove the ham from the fridge and allow it to lose the chill for more even cooking (about one hour before you start cooking).
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a roasting pan or baking dish with foil.
Add the orange marmalade, brown sugar, and honey or maple syrup to a saucepan. Warm over low heat until just below simmering for 3-5 minutes, stirring to combine into a thick, smooth texture. Remove from heat to avoid scorching.
Meanwhile, cut the orange into thin slices. Stuff the slices between the spiral cuts of the ham at random, making sure the oranges aren’t sticking too far beyond the edge of the ham. Cut the slices in half if needed.
Place the ham flat side down into the lined baking dish. Carefully spoon or brush half of the glaze mixture over the ham, starting at the top. Cover and loosely tent with aluminum foil.
Bake for 1 ½ hours in the preheated oven, then spoon the additional glaze over the ham. Continue baking, uncovered, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (another 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your ham).
Remove from the oven and let it rest 15-20 minutes. Transfer the glazed ham to a serving platter. Use a sharp knife to cut around the center bone, freeing the slices. Stack and serve, removing the stuffed orange slices.

Notes

Allow 12-15 minutes of cooking time for each pound of ham at 325 degrees F.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to one month. Reheat before serving or adding to leftover ham recipes.
