• Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine the marmalade, bourbon, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon and cloves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the glaze is thick and syrupy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Brush the ham with about half of the glaze and return to the oven. Roast, glazing the ham every 15 to 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches about 130 degrees F, 45 minutes to 1 hour more. (The ham will get very brown, but if the glaze starts to burn, tent with a piece of foil greased with cooking spray. Let rest, tented with a piece of greased foil, for about 10 minutes before carving.

ORANGE MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS

Steps:

• Saute the carrots in butter with optional rosemary, almost to tender crisp in a medium saucepan with high sides and enough room to stir.
• Add the orange and maple flavors, along with cooked bacon and walnuts if using in sauce, add a bit of water if using brown sugar to help it melt. Stir to glaze carrots and reduce glaze over low heat until sticky and hot. Add the salt and adjust sweetness just before serving. The salt really brings out the flavor of the carrots, use less salt if adding bacon as a garnish.
• Garnish with fresh ground pepper, nuts and bacon if desired. The bacon and nuts are optional and can be added either to sauce while cooking or as a garnish.
