Roasted Ham with Fruits (The Brief and Joyful Passage of Roasted Ham through Christmas Dinner)

Name: Roasted Ham with Fruits
Ingredients: This tender ham, weighing approximately five or six pounds, has a thick rind that needs to be removed, leaving only a small portion near the bone (as shown in the photo). Sprinkle the ham with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings your taste may indicate. Place it on a rack, in an open roasting pan, with the fattiest side facing up. Roast in a moderate oven for five hours, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness. About 30 minutes before serving, brush it with glaze, allowing it to caramelize and form a sticky crust. Garnish with orange slices, parsley, pineapple wedges, and any other fruits your creativity may dictate, from pomegranate seeds to cherries in maraschino liqueur, black plums, or a mix of everything. The glaze is made by mixing together 1/3 cup of Karo (golden syrup), one tablespoon of soy sauce, one-fourth teaspoon of ground ginger, and one tablespoon of cornstarch. Mix all the ingredients at room temperature until well combined. When ready to serve, pour the glaze over the ham, spreading it evenly with a brush or your finger. Note: some people like to add red wine to the roasting pan for added flavor.
