A magnificent centerpiece for Easter dinner. Ingredients:
1 16-pound bone-in fully cooked whole ham with rind |
1/4 cup (about) whole cloves |
2 cups mango nectar |
1/4 cup apricot preserves |
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
1 tablespoon grated lime peel |
2 teaspoons ground coriander |
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice |
curried pineapple chutney |
Directions:
1. Roast ham: Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 350°F. Using sharp knife, cut parallel lines 1 inch apart in fat layer and rind on ham. Cut more lines in crosswise direction, making diamond pattern.
2. Stick 1 whole clove into center of each diamond. Place rack in roasting pan. Place ham on rack. Roast ham 2 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Continue to roast ham until golden, about 1 hour.
3. Make glaze: Meanwhile, combine mango nectar and next 6 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Cook until glaze thickens and coats spoon, stirring often, about 14 minutes; set glaze aside.
4. Glaze ham: Remove ham from oven. Maintain oven temperature. Using pastry brush, dab all of glaze over ham, being careful not to dislodge crisp diamonds of fat and rind.
5. Return ham to oven. Roast until ham is heated through and glaze is brown, about 35 minutes.
6. Transfer ham to platter; let stand 15 minutes. Spoon chutney into bowl. Slice ham and serve with chutney.
