Baked Ham with Honey Chipotle Glaze

(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8-10 lbs.)
2 1/4 c. ginger ale
1 c. packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp. honey
4 1/2 tsp. cider vinegar
4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp. ground cumin

Directions:
Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.  Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 inch deep.  Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan, combine the ginger ale, brown sugar, honey and vinegar.  Bring to a boil; cook until glaze is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.  Reduce heat.  Stir in the remaining ingredients; cook 5 minutes longer.  Remove from the heat.  Set aside 1 c. for the sauce.

Baste ham with some of the remaining glaze.  Bake 30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees, basing twice with additional glaze.  Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.  Serve with reserved sauce.
