MARMALADE RAISIN GLAZED HAM


1/2 boneless fully cooked lean ham (4 pounds)
1 cup water
2/3 cup orange juice, divided
1/2 cup orange marmalade spreadable fruit
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup raisins
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1.  Line a shallow roasting pan with foil.  Place ham on a rack in a prepared pan.  Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 45 minutes.
2.  Meanwhile, combine the water, 1/2 cup orange juice, marmalade, raisins and spices in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until raisins are softened and the mixture is reduced to 1-3/4 cups.
3.  Combine the cornstarch and remaining orange juice until smooth.  Gradually stir into glaze.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.  Brush ham with glaze.  Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140, brushing occasionally with glaze.
