Ham in Pastry

1 (3-pound) boneless ham
1 cup water
Pastry for (9-inch) single-crust pie
1 (10-ounce)jar orange marmalade
1 large egg, beaten

1. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan; add water. Cover with aluminum foil. Place in a cold oven and set temperature to 325°F; bake for 30 minutes.
2. Remove ham from oven and drain. Cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, roll out pastry dough into a long rectangle 3/8-inch thick. Spread orange marmalade over ham. Place ham on one side of dough and fold over to enclose ham. Brush dough with egg. Return to pan.
4. Increase oven temperature to 375°F and bake for 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

Makes 10 servings.

*Note: Directions are for a bone-in, fully cooked ham. Also called “ready-to-eat’” or “heat-and-serve” ham.
A “cook-before-eating” ham must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees, approximately 18-20 minutes per pound.
