Spiced Apple Holiday Ham image

My grandmother always made pineapple ham, but I decided that rosy red apple rings look & taste even more festive. You can also make the apple rings from scratch by simmering a pan of water with apple slices, red hots, sugar, & a bit of red food coloring.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 fully cooked bone in ham (6-8 pounds)
1 tsp whole cloves
1 jar(s) spiced apple rings (14.5 ounces)
1 c packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp yellow mustard
10-12 green maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the ham in a roasting pan cut side down. Score ham with a shallow diamond shaped pattern. Insert cloves into cuts. Cover ham with foil & bake for about 1 1/2 hours.
  • 2. Meanwhile, drain the liquid from the apple rings into a small saucepan. Whisk in the brown sugar & mustard. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until mixture is thickened & coats the back of a spoon.
  • 3. Remove foil from ham & brush with the glaze. Secure apple rings & cherries to the ham with toothpicks. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until heated through.

I would not recommend this recipe. The ham was bland and the instructions were unclear.

This recipe is a waste of time and money. The ham was dry and flavorless.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my ham turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend experimenting with different spices to find a flavor combination that you like.

The ham was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might try brining the ham next time.

This ham is a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less brown sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ham turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more brown sugar to the spice rub.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of ham, but I'm so glad I did! The spice rub really takes the ham to the next level.

This ham was a hit at our holiday dinner! The spice rub gave it a delicious flavor and the apples added a touch of sweetness. Even my picky kids loved it.
