SUPERIIOR! Have a good meat thermometer and try this, it is worth any sacrifice. OMG, this has me begging Wegmans for lime-ginger marmalade; I used half lime marmalade and half ginger marmalade. You could tell as soon as the marmalade began heating that something special was afoot., THIS WAS GOING TO BE GREAT . Try this for a super holiday meal. To speed up the heating, I turned on the convection fan and turned the ham over halfway, then monitored the internal temperature. Thank you for sharing, Kate! Made for The Wild Bunch of ZWT8 for its trip to Australia/New Zealand.
