How to Make Baked Glazed Virginia Ham

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the ham in a heavy roasting pan. Score the ham's fat cap in a crosshatch pattern (optional, but helps the glaze penetrate).
3. In a food processor, combine the minced garlic, mango chutney, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and water. Process until completely smooth.
4. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
5. Bake for 1 hour, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is beautifully browned and caramelized. Baste the ham with pan juices every 20 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy hot or at room temperature.
