Baked Ham w/ Orange Mustard Glaze

1  (6 to 8-lb.) fully cooked bone-in ham half
1  cup water
1  cup dry sherry or orange juice
2/3  cup orange marmalade
1/3  cup stone-ground mustard
3  teaspoons dry mustard


Heat oven to 325 F. Place ham, fat side up, in disposable roasting pan (place on baking pan) or on rack in shallow roasting pan. Pour water into pan. Bake at 325 F. for 1 hour.

Remove ham from oven. Add sherry to roasting pan. If necessary, trim fat from ham. Score ham diagonally at 1-inch intervals, cutting about 1/4 inch deep; score in opposite direction to form diamond shapes. Insert meat thermometer so  bulb reaches center of thickest part of ham but does not rest in fat or on bone.

In small bowl, combine marmalade and mustards; mix well. Brush half of marmalade mixture over ham; baste with pan juices. Return to oven; bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours
or until meat thermometer registers 140 F., basting frequently with pan juices and brushing with remaining marmalade mixture.

Let ham stand in roasting pan for 15 minutes before slicing, basting frequently with pan juices.
