Baked Glazed Ham with Raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove rind from the ham and score the surface if the fat is reasonably thick. Place the ham in a casserole dish and pour on the wine and water, then arrange the raisins and butter around the meat. Pour on the brandy and place in the oven to bake for about 40 minutes, basting frequently with the pan liquids.

When the surface is crisp and golden, remove and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot or cold.

NOTE: The ham can be cooked in advance and reheated to serve hot. Cover with aluminum foil and warm for 20-25 minutes in a moderate oven, or wrap in plastic wrap and microwave for about 4 minutes.
