Baked Ham With Cherry Glaze

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Line a deep large baking dish with foil.

   To make the cherry glaze, bring cherries, brown sugar, ginger, spices, maple syrup and cognac to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, remove cherries and reserve. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 8 mins, or until mixture thickens slightly. Let cool. Remove cardamom.

   Place ham on a wire rack in the baking dish. Wrap shank in foil. Bake for about 15 mins, or until fat has opened up. Reduce oven to 325u00b0F. Brush mustard over ham then brush with glaze. Sprinkle with cherries. Bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour 30 mins, basting with remaining glaze every 30 mins, or until browned. Let rest for 10 mins before slicing.
