What You’ll Need

1 Daily's® Bone-in ready-to-eat ham (about 14 to 16 pounds)


16 whole cloves
2 to 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dry white wine

Mojo Sauce
16 cloves garlic, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup finely slivered onion
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups fresh orange juice (from 3-4 oranges)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (from 2-3 limes)
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Papaya Salsa
2 ripe papayas (about 1 pound each)
2 ripe plum, (Roma) tomatoes, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dices
1 tablespoon seeded, finely chopped jalapeno pepper
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro OR flat-leaf parsley
Finely grated zest of 2 limes
1/3 cup fresh lime juice

Directions

Prepare Mojo sauce ahead of time. Set aside 2 cups of the sauce for serving. 

Preheat oven to 350ºF. 

Place ham in shallow roasting pan; score a diamond pattern about 1/8 inch thick into the upper surface of the ham. Insert a clove at the crossed points of the diamonds. Brush the ham with the mustard and sprinkle it with the brown sugar. Pour 1 cup of the Mojo sauce over the top. 

Bake in the center of the heated oven for 2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion (not touching bone) registers 140ºF (about 15-18 minutes per pound), basting every 20-30 minutes, alternating with 1/4 cup each white wine and remaining Mojo sauce. Transfer ham to platter. 

Let stand 15 minutes; slice and serve with the reserved 2 cups of Mojo sauce and Papaya Salsa.

MOJO SAUCE
In a medium bowl, combine garlic, onion, cumin, and salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 10 minutes. 

Add the orange juice, lime juice and vinegar and cook another 5 minutes for the flavors to blend. Cool to room temperature. Makes 4 cups.

PAPAYA SALSA
Peel and seed the papaya and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Place in a medium-size bowl. 

Gently fold the tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro and lime zest into the papaya. Toss in the lime juice. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use, no longer than 4 hours.
