Heavenly Citrus Ham Recipe

Ingredients:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (6-8 lbs.)
Whole cloves
1 1/4 c. orange soda
1 1/4 c. orange marmalade
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/4 c. Dijon mustard

Directions:
Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.  Score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 inch deep; insert a clove in the center of each diamond.  Loosely cover ham with foil.  Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.

In a small saucepan, combine the soda, marmalade and brown sugar.  Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 15 minutes.  Stir in mustard.

Brush ham with some of the glaze; bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees, basting occasionally with remaining glaze.  Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice and serve ham.
