Delicious Easter Ham With Tangerine Glaze Recipe

How to make it

---

• Put ham in large roasting pan, fat-side up
• Using a sharp knife, score ham with cuts across skin, about 2-inches apart, 1/2-inch deep
• Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern
• Season ham with freshly ground pepper
• Chop about 8 sage leaves and put in bowl
• Mix with olive oil to make paste
• Rub sage oil all over ham, getting flavor into all slits
• Bake ham for about 2-3 hours at 325 OR 350 degrees (be sure to watch, so that the glaze is not browning too fast)
• TANGERINE GLAZE
• I made this immediately after I put ham in oven
• Place saucepan over medium heat
• Add chunks of butter, thinly sliced tangerines, tangerine juice, brown sugar, water, spices
• Slowly cook down to syrupy glaze
• This should take about 30 to 40 minutes
• After ham has been cooking for about 1 hour
• You may want to remove ham from oven to pour tangerine glaze (including the pieces of fruit) all over ham
• Scatter remaining sage leaves on top of ham
• Place ham back in oven, continue to cook , basting with juices every 30 minutes
• Ham is done when it is heated through completely and the glaze glistens
• *If using carrots, scatter them around ham and coat in tangerine glaze
• Cook until the carrots are tender and ham is dark and crisp
• Ham should glisten with the sugary glaze
• Set ham on cutting board and let rest before carving
• If cooking carrots with ham, serve carrots and tangerine glaze on the side, separately
