BAKED HAM WITH ROSEMARY AND SWEET VERMOUTH

Category: Ham

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

Preheat oven to 350. 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.

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 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 degrees, basting with vermouth mixture every 15 minutes. Place ham on a serving platter; let stand 30 minutes before slicing
