OVEN BAKED HAM

This holiday ham is so simple but the glaze brings a ton of festive flavor. Start with a spiral ham then slather with the glaze made from cranberry sauce, sugar and spices.

INGREDIENT OPTIONS:

Adjust the spices to fit your preferences.
Regular or whole jellied cranberry both work, I prefer whole for this recipe.
Apple juice or pineapple juice works in place of the orange juice.

DO YOU GLAZE A HAM BEFORE OR AFTER COOKING?

Glaze your ham the last 30 minutes of cooking to prevent the sugars from burning.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH HAM:

CROCKPOT STUFFING – BAKED MAC & CHEESE – PARMESAN POTATO STACKS – MASHED SWEET POTATOES
