How to Make Tangerine Glazed Ham With Fresh Sage

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Place a 10-12 pound ham, fat-side up, in a large roasting pan.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score the ham's skin in a diamond pattern: make 2-inch apart cuts, 1/2-inch deep, then cut diagonally down the slashes.
  4. Generously season the ham with salt and pepper.
  5. Finely chop 8 sage leaves and mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil to form a paste.
  6. Rub the sage-oil paste all over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored slits.
  7. Bake the ham for 2 hours.
  8. While the ham bakes, prepare the glaze:
  9. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine:
  10. 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  11. 1/2 cup Smart Balance spread
  12. 1 cup brown sugar
  13. 1 cup Splenda
  14. 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
  15. 1 cup tangerine juice
  16. 2 cups chopped tangerines (about 4-6 tangerines)
  17. 1/2 cup water
  18. 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  19. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  20. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  21. Slowly simmer the glaze, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 30-40 minutes).
  22. After the ham has baked for 2 hours, pour the tangerine glaze over it, including the fruit pieces.
  23. Scatter the remaining fresh sage leaves over the ham.
  24. Return the ham to the oven and bake for another 2 hours, basting with pan juices every 30 minutes.
  25. The ham is ready when it's dark, crispy, and glistening with glaze.
  26. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving. Serve extra glaze on the side, if desired.
