Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 pound bone-in Smoked Ham half (Shank Portion)
  • 1-1/2 pounds thick sliced smoked bacon
  • toothpicks
  • honey (several tablespoons or to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Unwrap ham and lightly score the exterior in a cross-hatch pattern with a sharp knife. Not too deep.
  • Place cut side down on a baking sheet with about half cup water.
  • Secure bacon strips with toothpicks along one side, then along the top.
  • Working back and forth, weave bacon over and under, back and forth, and securing the ends with toothpicks.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes per pound or until it reaches 140°F. with an instant-read thermometer, tenting bacon if it browns excessively  (mine did not, but just in case- you don't want it burning).
  • Remove ham from oven and drizzle with honey to your heart's desire.
  • Don't forget to remove the toothpicks (carefully-don't tear the weave apart) before carving/slicing.
