Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 6 lbs bone-in ham in a roasting pan, scored in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix 1 cup orange marmalade, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until smooth. Brush half the glaze over the ham.
  3. Step 3: Bake ham uncovered for 1 hour, basting with remaining glaze every 20 minutes, until heated through and glaze is glossy.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, toss 1 lb green beans with 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet.
  5. Step 5: Roast green beans in the oven alongside the ham for the last 20 minutes of ham cooking time, stirring halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Remove ham and green beans from oven; let ham rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted garlic green beans.
