Prep time: 30 minutesCook time: 4 hours 15 minutesServes: 12
Ingredients
10 lbs fresh ham
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 orange, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
2 cups chicken broth
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Score the skin of the ham in a diamond pattern and place it in a large roasting pan.
4. Rub the herb and citrus mixture all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored cuts.
5. Arrange the orange and lemon slices over the top of the ham.
6. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
7. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for about 3 hours, basting occasionally.
8. Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Continue roasting for an additional 45 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a thermometer reads 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the ham (avoiding the bone).
9. Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
