Christmas ham w/ fresh cranberry-orange glaze image

I remember my dad used to make a ham w/ cranberries and juices and spices but couldn't remember the exact ingredients so I played around w/ them and , thankfully, lol, this Christmas every single person ate almost every thing from the pan. Leaving very little behind...so, so good!

Categories     Pork

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 lb spiral sliced ham, bone-in
3 c fresh cranberries or frozen and thawed
4 Tbsp honey, preferably clove honey
1/3 c orange juice, i used tropicana
2-1/2 Tbsp orange zest
1/4 tsp crushed cloves
1/2 c packed, light brown sugar
1 can(s) pineapple slices, (optional)
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 275.Place ham, flat side down in roasting pan. Cover lightly w/ foil and bake 1-1/2 hours.
  • 2. In medium sized pot, over medium heat, combine cranberries, honey, orange juice, orange zest, cloves and cinnamon. Cook on medium, stirring occasionally until cranberries start to sound like they're "popping."
  • 3. Cover pot, remove from heat and let cool. Remove ham from oven. Increase oven heat to 425. Make sure glaze is cool enough to handle w/ hands, ( this is the easiest way to do this, ) using your hands, spread the glaze all over the ham, including top and sides. If using the pineapple slices, place them on top of ham. Sprinkle the brown sugar all over ham. Place ham back in oven and cook, uncovered for another 15-20 minutes or until the brown sugar has melted and formed a nice crust. Take the ham out of oven and let sit for 10 minutes.

This recipe is a fail. The ham was not cooked properly and the glaze was inedible.

This was the worst Christmas ham I've ever had. The glaze was gross and the ham was tough and dry.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. The ham was dry and the glaze was too sweet.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The ham was not good and the glaze was even worse.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ham turned out terrible. The glaze was bland and the ham was tough.
