Total time: 4 h 5 min
Yield: 10 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 smoked shoulder ham with the bone, about 6.6 lbs (3 kg); 1 can 540 ml maple syrup; 2 cups (500 ml) cider; 2 cups (500 ml) chicken broth; Ground black pepper

Remove the string and rind from the ham. Place the ham in a large pan or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove the ham from the pan. Discard the water. Start over again. Drain. Set the ham aside on a plate.

With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

In the same pan or Dutch oven, bring the syrup to a boil. Simmer until it thickens and begins to caramelize. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Place the ham in the pan. Season with pepper.

Cover and bake for 2 hours. Uncover and continue cooking for 1 hour, basting frequently with the cooking juices. Place the ham on a carving board and reduce the cooking juices by half.

Slice the ham and serve with the maple pan juices and Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples .
