Number Of Ingredients 4

1 smoked, precooked ham, bone in
2 pints red-currant jelly
1 bottle cabernet sauvignon or other good red wine
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Put ham fat side up on a bed of aluminum foil in a pan just big enough to hold it. Place in oven for 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from oven, and peel off the outer layer of fat. Score top with a sharp knife at 3/4-inch intervals in a checkerboard pattern, about half an inch deep. Return ham to oven.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the jelly with the red wine and reduce until mixture is slightly syrupy, about 6 minutes. Baste ham lightly with the glaze every 10 minutes or so for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Let cool for 30 minutes; then decorate with a thin line of parsley along every third scored line.

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ham itself was moist and flavorful. Overall, it was a good recipe.

This ham was a disaster! The meat was dry and tough, and the glaze was burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The ham was moist and flavorful, but the glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would probably adjust the glaze next time.

This ham was a hit at our Easter dinner! The red currant glaze was tangy and sweet, and it paired perfectly with the salty ham. The meat was moist and tender, and it fell right off the bone.
