Instructions:

Raspberry-Chipotle Pepper Glazed Ham

1 (9- to 10-pound) cooked bone-in ham (rump half or shank portion)
1 recipe Raspberry-Chipotle Pepper Sauce
1 tablespoon pink or 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns, coarsely cracked
Fresh raspberries (optional)
Fresh herb sprigs (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. If necessary, score ham by making diagonal cuts in fat in a diamond pattern. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of meat not touching bone. Bake ham until thermometer registers 130 degrees F. Allow 1 1/2 hours to 2 1/4 hours. Meanwhile, prepare Raspberry Sauce.

Brush ham with some of the Raspberry-Chipotle Pepper Sauce. Bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until thermometer registers 135 degrees F, brushing once or twice with additional Raspberry Sauce. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with pink or black peppercorns. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature of meat will rise 5 degrees during standing.)

Carve ham. Reheat any remaining Raspberry-Chipotle Pepper Sauce; pass with ham. If desired, garnish platter with fresh raspberries and sprigs of fresh herbs.

Makes 16 to 20 servings.
