6 to 8 pound fully cooked, bone-in smoked half ham
1 cup honey
2/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
zest of one lemon
Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in lower center position.
Place ham, cut side down, in a large roasting pan; score the fat side of the ham in a diamond pattern as shown in the photo above.
Pour 1/2 cup water around the ham and and cover the roasting pan well with foil; bake for 1 hour.
In a medium saucepan over medium, heat the honey, brown sugar, ginger, cayenne, cloves, and black pepper together, whisking frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved; remove from heat and allow to cool before stirring in the lemon zest.
Remove foil from ham and continue baking; brush generously with glaze every 10 minutes, for a total of 50-60 minutes (total cooking time should be about 2 hours).
If there is any leftover glaze, stir it into the strained pan drippings and serve with the ham.
For easy cleanup, use a disposable roasting pan. Be sure to place it on a half sheet pan so you can move it in and out of the oven easily without it collapsing.
