TOTAL TIME: 4 1/2 hours
MAKES: 18 servings
1 12-pound fully cooked smoked whole ham
About 2 tablespoons whole cloves
2 (10-ounce) jars orange marmalade
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup dark seedless raisins
1 (15 1/4-ounce) can pineapple rings for garnish
Maraschino cherries and parsley sprigs
for garnish

1. With sharp knife, remove skin and trim all but about 1/4-inch fat from ham. Stud ham with whole cloves. Place ham, fat-side up, on rack in large roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of ham, being careful that pointed end of thermometer does not touch bone. Bake ham in 325 F. oven 2 1/2 hours. If ham browns too quickly, cover with a tent of foil.

2. After ham has baked 2 1/2 hours, prepare glaze: In 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, heat marmalade, orange juice, mustard, ground cloves and ground ginger to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Brush some of the glaze over ham; bake 30 minutes or longer until meat thermometer reaches 140 F (about 15 minutes per pound). Add raisins to remaining marmalade mixture; heat through and keep warm.

3. To serve, place ham on large, warm platter; garnish with drained pineapple rings, maraschino cherries and parsley sprigs. Serve with remaining marmalade mixture.
