1 (9-pound) fully cooked ham, bone-in, scored 1/4-inch deep in a diamond pattern
10 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks cut in 1/2 lengthwise into 20 pieces
4 navel oranges, sliced crosswise into 1/3-inch slices (20 slices)
5 lemons, sliced crosswise into 1/3-inch slices (20 slices)
10 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
One 13-ounce jar orange marmalade
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground cloves

1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2
Place the ham, cut side down, in a large roasting pan.
3
Insert the cinnamon sticks partially into the scored ham at even intervals.
4
Skewer 1 orange slice and 1 lemon slice onto each cinnamon stick and push the slices down so that they fit snugly against the ham.
5
Tuck the bay leaves around the orange slices.
6
Sprinkle the ham with the black pepper.
7
Bake the ham, uncovered, until it reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours.
8
Baste the ham with the glaze during the last hour of cooking.
9
Make the glaze when the ham first goes into the oven: Combine the marmalade, brown sugar, orange juice, water, hot sauce, ginger, and cloves in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer.
10
Cook until mixture reduces to a glaze consistency and coats the back of a spoon.
