Ingredients:
2/3 cup (160mL) brown sugar
2 tablespoons (30mL) butter
12 Bigelow Constant Comment® Tea Bags
1 cup (250mL) hot water
½ cup (125mL) fresh orange juice
Zest of orange
1 teaspoon (5mL) ground cloves
1 - 6 to 8 pound (3 to 4kg) cooked ham
12 wholes cloves

Yield: Serves 12 - Prep Time: 10 minutes - Cook Time: 90-120 minutes.

Instructions:

Brew Constant Comment® tea bags in hot water. Discard the tea bags, squeezing to extract as much liquid as possible. Combine tea, brown sugar, butter, orange juice and zest with ground cloves in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preheat oven to 325ºF (170ºC). Using a sharp knife, score the fat on top of the ham into diamond shapes, then press the cloves, stem side down, into each diamond.

Place ham in shallow roasting pan. Brush the Constant Comment® Orange Glaze on the ham liberally. Roast the ham for about 15 minutes a pound, brushing two to three times during the cooking process.

Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Drizzle sliced ham with remaining sauce.
