Recipe by Jeanne Kelly This succulent ham takes cues from the Mediterranean with piney rosemary and sweet, herbal vermouth.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet vermouth
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 (6-pound) 33%-less-sodium smoked, fully cooked ham half
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °.
  2. Bring vermouth and honey to a boil in a small heavy saucepan; cook 16 minutes or until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Remove pan from heat.
  3. Trim fat and rind from ham. Score outside of ham in a diamond pattern. Place ham on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Rub ham evenly with rosemary, pepper, and garlic. Bake at 350 ° for 1 1/2 hours. Brush ham with 1/4 cup vermouth mixture; cover loosely with foil. Bake an additional 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in center of ham registers 135 °, basting with vermouth mixture every 15 minutes. Place ham on a serving platter; let stand 30 minutes before slicing
