Delicious! I had a ham to cook and wanted to try something a little different. Though not very tasty on its own, the coffee glaze is delicious with the ham and gives it a gorgeous color. A nice alternative to very sweet glazes. As a rule, a shank ham should be cooked at 325 for 20 minutes per pound so my 10 pound ham cooked a bit longer. When trimming the rind, I also removed the fat so mine was lean but still very moist. The kids inhaled this! Thanks, Macey, for a great recipe!

This is a wonderful recipe. The single glaze does the job.
