Number Of Ingredients 4

1 smoked, precooked ham, bone in
2 pints red-currant jelly
1 bottle cabernet sauvignon or other good red wine
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Put ham fat side up on a bed of aluminum foil in a pan just big enough to hold it. Place in oven for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, and peel off the outer layer of fat. Score top with a sharp knife at 3/4-inch intervals in a checkerboard pattern, about half an inch deep. Return ham to oven.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the jelly with the red wine and reduce until mixture is slightly syrupy, about 6 minutes. Baste ham lightly with the glaze every 10 minutes or so for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes; then decorate with a thin line of parsley along every third scored line.

This ham was a little dry for my taste, but the glaze was delicious. I would recommend cooking the ham for less time next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ham, but I'm so glad I did! The ham was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ham turned out great. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's just a personal preference.
