Serves: 12

• 1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) Our Family® Hickory Smoked Boneless Half Ham
• 1 cup Our Family® Honey
• 1/2 cup Our Family® Light Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup Our Family® Unsalted Butter, melted

• 1/2 tsp. Our Family® Crushed Red Pepper
• 1/4 tsp. Our Family® Ground Black Pepper

1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position; preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on rack in large roasting pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Pour 2 cups water into pan; loosely cover ham with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 90°.
2. In medium bowl, whisk honey, 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter, orange zest, crushed red pepper, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
3. Remove ham from oven; brush with some honey mixture. Bake ham, uncovered, 45 minutes, brushing with honey mixture every 15 minutes.
4. Preheat broiler to high; sprinkle ham with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar. Broil ham 5 minutes or until golden brown, caramelized and internal temperature reaches 130°. Loosely cover ham with aluminum foil; let stand 15 minutes before serving. (Internal temperature will rise to 140° upon standing.)
5. Serve ham garnished with orange slices and parsley, if desired, along with any remaining honey mixture.
