- Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham, cut side down, on rack in large roasting pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Add 2 cups cider, thyme sprigs, cinnamon sticks and garlic cloves to pan; loosely cover ham with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 90°.
- In small bowl, whisk brown sugar, honey, sriracha and remaining 1/2 cup cider. Makes about 1 1/4 cups glaze.
- Remove ham from oven; brush with some glaze. Bake ham, uncovered, 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 130°, brushing with glaze every 15 minutes. Loosely cover ham with foil; let stand 15 minutes before serving. (Internal temperature will rise to 140° upon standing).
- Remove and discard thyme sprigs, cinnamon sticks and garlic from pan; whisk any remaining glaze into pan with drippings. Strain glaze mixture through fine-mesh strainer into small saucepan; cook over medium heat 15 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Makes about 1 1/2 cups sauce.
- Carve ham; serve with sauce garnished with thyme sprigs, if desired.
