8 servings
  1. 1/3 cupcherry preserves
  2. 2 tbspdark brown sugar
  3. 1 tbspfreshly squeezed lemon juice
  4. 1/8to 1/4 teaspoon salt
  5. 1/4to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  6. 1/4 tspdried thyme
  7. 1(7 to 8 pound) smoked, cured, bone in ham

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Position a rack in the lower half of the oven to make room for the ham and preheat to 325°F.

  2. 2

    Starting at 1 side and working horizontally across the top and upper sides, shallowly score the ham with a sharp knife in 1 inch sections.

  3. 3

    Repeat vertically down the top and upper sides of the ham.

  4. 4

    Transfer the ham to a nonstick or foil lined roasting pan.

  5. 5

    Cook about 20 minutes per pound, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham (not touching the bone) registers 130°F, about 2 hours and 20 minutes total.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile in a small saucepan, whisk together the cherry preserves, brown sugar, lemon juice, pepper, thyme, and salt.

  7. 7

    Bring to a simmer over medium high heat and cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

  8. 8

    When the ham is cooked, remove it from the oven and, using a pastry brush, carefully coat the ham on the top and sides with the cherry mixture.

  9. 9

    Return to the oven and turn up the heat to 425°F.

  10. 10

    Cook until the glaze is sizzling and slightly browned, about 8 minutes.

  11. 11

    Remove from the oven and let the ham rest 15 to 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Some of my favorite things are family, friends, my pets, cooking, baking, football (Badger & Packer), Brewer baseball, college basketball, car racing, thrift stores, volunteering, and rummage sales. I have a 9 year old rescue dog, and 7 birds ( 6 are rescue) and they range in age from 1 year to over 19 years old. I volunteer for a dog rescue and a shelter, as well as other festivals and organizations.
