Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Fully cooked ham
- 3 cups Fresh rhubarb (diced)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the fully cooked ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pan to keep the ham moist.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham registers at least 140°F (60°C).
While the ham is baking, prepare the rhubarb sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, orange juice, honey, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has broken down and the sauce has thickened.
Once the ham has finished cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Serve slices of ham topped with the warm rhubarb sauce. Enjoy!
