Ingredients

1 spiral-sliced ham (7 to 8 pounds)
2 cups fresh or refrigerated orange juice
1 ⅓ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup Dijon or spicy brown mustard
4 small jalapeño chile peppers, seeded if desired, finely chopped plus additional for garnish
3 garlic cloves, crushed
Orange wedges and fresh bay leaves for garnish (optional)

Place roasting rack in large roasting pan. Place ham, cut side down, on rack in pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300°. In small saucepan, heat orange juice, brown sugar, mustard, jalapeño and garlic to boiling over medium-high heat. Cook 30 minutes or until glaze is reduced to about 2½ cups, stirring occasionally; remove from heat.
Cover ham loosely with aluminum foil. Bake ham 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove ham from oven; increase oven temperature to 400°
Reserve 1 ½ cups glaze. Brush ham with about ½ cup remaining glaze; add ½ inch of water to bottom of roasting pan. Bake ham, uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until internal temperature reaches 120°, brushing every 5 minutes with remaining glaze.
Transfer ham to serving platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let ham stand 15 minutes before serving. Internal temperature will rise to 140° upon standing. Garnish ham with orange wedges, bay leaves and jalapeños, if desired, along with reserved glaze.
