I always like to add a non-traditional dish to the holiday menu just to change things up. This is a super easy recipe for Smoked Ham with a hint of Caribbean flavours. You could bake a whole ham if you have a big crowd or have the butcher split it for you. The whole ham will just take a little longer to cook.
ingredients
directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Remove skin off the ham. Score with sharp knife into diamond shapes into the fat. Place on a rack fitted into a roasting pan lined with foil or parchment paper.
Prepare the glaze by bringing molasses, rum, hot pepper and ginger to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Brush some of the glaze on ham. Bake the ham until temperature reaches 160 degrees F., brushing with more glaze every hour or so. Cook time will be about 3 ½ hours for a 8 to 9 pound ham and about 4 ½ hours for 16 to 18 pound ham.
