Orange Glazed Ham with Baby Carrots
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
1 (8 to 10-pound) smoked ham, bone-in, skin on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in chunks
2 medium navel oranges, sliced thin, seeds removed
2 cups orange juice
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks

1 1/2 pounds peeled baby carrots

Directions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Using a sharp knife, score the
ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut
diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously
with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put in a bowl; mix with
the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the
flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time
to bang-out the orange glaze.

For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter,

oranges, orange juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down
to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes.

After the ham has been going for a couple of hours, pour the orange glaze all over
it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and
stick the ham back in the oven. Continue to cook for 1 1/2 hours, basting with the
juices every 30 minutes.

Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the orange glaze. Stick the ham
once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are
tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a
sugary glaze.

Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and

orange glaze on the side.
