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 tangerines, sliced thin, seeds removed
2 cups tangerine juice
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
11/2 pounds carrots, peeled

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 it 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 tangerine glaze.

For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, tangerines, tangerine 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 being going for a couple of hours, pour the tangerine 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 and continue to cook for 11/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.

Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the tangerine 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 tangerine glaze on the side.

The BEST HAM EVER!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been making this recipe for both family and friends since 2003, when I saw Tyler make it on TV, and it gets rave reviews... every time! It is a staple for Easter and Christmas - we absolutely LOVE IT!!! I drain the fat before adding the glaze. Also, I use regular carrots, sliced down the middle lengthwise, and they are done in 1/2 hour.Read more

Unbelievably Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have always bought those spiral honey type hams for Easter and I will NEVER do that again. The first thing my guests said... when they walked in was that the house smelled amazing! This ham was so easy to prepare and it was the moistest ham we have ever had. I followed Tyler's recipe exactly and everything turned out perfectly. I was worried about the sage being overpowering, but combined with the fresh tangerine juice the glaze tasted incredible. My baby carrots did take longer than 30 min, but while the ham was resting I just turned the oven up and they were done in no time. Try this recipe, ham fans! Tyler has worked his magic again!!Read more

Tasty and Really Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this for the first time on Easter. It was a hit with everyone. I used baby carrots, and the last 30 minutes were plenty... of time to cook them to a non-mushy consistency. Mmm. Adding this to my recipe box right now. Tyler does it again.Read more
