The Christmas ham is made even more glorious by other ingredients associated with year's end. Baked pears and cranberries provide a balance of sugar and acidity. The ham is infused with cloves, and a warm glaze of cider, cinnamon, ginger, and honey draws out the meat's smoky-sweet flavor.

Tips

  • For the best flavor, use a bone-in ham. The bone adds flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Score the ham before baking. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcook the ham. The internal temperature should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a fully cooked ham.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion

Honeyed ham with pears and cranberries is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With the sweet and savory glaze, tender ham, and juicy fruit, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give this recipe a try.
