Xmas Glazed Ham

From the amazing genius of Isa Chandra aka Post Punk Kitchen chef. One of the few GF recipes I've found! Have been wanting to make this for AGES! It didn't turn out as well as I hoped, I marinated overnight and still didn't feel like the middle really got any flavor. She recommends pressing for 30 minutes on both sides which I didn't do. It still tasted pretty good. I'm wondering if I pureed the tofu and added in seasoning like with the vegan turkey then follow the recipe below if that would have helped. Definitely very edible to me, just not so much for the non-vegans in the house :(
Also I used a shallow dish and I think it allowed for too much glaze, baking it in liquid essentially. I felt like the cloves looked really impressive but gave too strong of a flavor and also annoying to pick out. I served with Christmas Jelly.

Xmas Glazed Ham

Ingredients

Marinade; 
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1⁄4 cup tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
FOR THE TOFU:
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, pressed
8 thin orange slices
20 to 25 whole cloves

Glaze;
1⁄2 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons smooth apricot jam
1 tablespoon whiskey
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
1⁄4 teaspoon smoked salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Method

MAKE THE TOFU: In a shallow dish, whisk together all the marinade ingredients. Place the block of tofu in the marinade, turn to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, and up to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Arrange the orange slices in an even layer in the center of the parchment. Place the marinated tofu block on the bed of oranges.
Carefully score the top of the tofu block with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, about 1⁄4 inch deep. Press the whole cloves into the intersections of the cuts (at the corners of the diamonds). Bake for 1 hour.

IN THE MEANTIME, MAKE THE GLAZE: Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

After the tofu has baked for 1 hour, remove it from the oven and pour the glaze evenly all over the top. Bake for an additional 30 minutes.
Allow the tofu to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
