How to Make Ham With Rhubarb Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place a 5-7 lb bone-in ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the ham tightly with aluminum foil.
  3. Roast for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 135°F (57°C).
  4. While the ham roasts, prepare the rhubarb glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 lb rhubarb, chopped; 1 cup sugar; 1/2 cup water; 1/4 cup orange juice; 2 tablespoons orange zest; 1 cinnamon stick; and a pinch of ground cloves.
  5. Bring the rhubarb mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb has softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  8. During the last 15 minutes of the ham's baking time, remove the aluminum foil. Spoon a small amount of the rhubarb glaze over the ham.
  9. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve the remaining rhubarb glaze alongside the sliced ham.
