Ingredients
- 12 to 15 pound ham, spiral cut preferably
- 2 liters quality rootbeer
- 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 3 to 4 tablespoons hot spicy mustard
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard
- 1 pound kumquats or green seedless grapes
Directions
Preheat oven to 220 degrees. Wash ham thoroughly and pat dry. Place ham in roaster that has a lid. Pour 1 liter of rootbeer over ham. Add half the kumquats and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Bake covered, for 6 hours, basting often. When done, remove ham from juices and discard juices. Return ham to roaster. In saucepan, combine remaining brown sugar and 2 cups of rootbeer. Bring to a boil and reduce until thickened enough to coat ham. Remove from heat and stir in both kinds of mustard. Brush sauce over top of ham and return to 300 degree oven uncovered to let brown. Add more sauce as needed. Add remaining kumquats during final 15 to 20 minutes of cooking. Be careful not to burn top of ham. Serve remaining sauce separately.

I make this recipe EVERY Thanksgiving! I found this recipe after watching whatever show it was featured on.I make it with the green grapes, because I can't find Kumquats at this time of year. I have never written a review, because I didn't want everyone to know how to make it. IT IS INCREDIBLE!

I was searching for recipes for Kumquats, and found this recipe just before Easter and thought it sounded good so, I bravely made my Easter Ham using this recipe based on the "TWO" reviews that were posted. Well, I'm hoping that the only reason there were only two reviews is because the rest of the people who have made this ham didn't take the time to write one because this is a fabulous recipe. I had only two issues. #1 I didn't know what to do with the kumquats. Do I puree them? Do I leave them whole or slice them? Well, I cut them in half, and let me tell you I don't think it would have mattered what I did, this is a fabulous recipe. My entire family was at my home for Easter dinner 2010, and I am putting the date here so everyone knows this is a new review, and they "RAVED" about the ham. I usually have tons of ham left over but there was hardly enough left over for one meal for two people after everyone made their returns for seconds and thirds, most of which consisted of a few more bites of this great ham. I must say, that this ham was the center of the table with it's flavor, and it's presentation as it is one of the prettiest hams as well. SO, if you are looking for a great ham, make this one, and use the kumquats, as that is what I used. It calls for either kumquats or green grapes, and I can't imagine making it without the kumquats. All I can say, is A W E S O M E! !
