Cranberry Glazed Ham
This cranberry glazed ham is juicy, festive, and so easy to make. A sweet and tangy glaze caramelizes beautifully in the oven!
Equipment
- Roasting pan
- Aluminum foil
- Saucepan
- Basting brush
- Sharp carving knife
Ingredients
- 1 8-10 lb bone-in ham
- 1 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place ham in a roasting pan, cut side down, and cover loosely with foil. Bake for 1.5 hours.
- While ham is baking, combine cranberry sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, orange juice, and cloves in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- After 1.5 hours, remove foil and brush glaze over ham generously. Return to oven uncovered and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting once more halfway through.
- Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use spiral-cut ham for even easier serving. Keep an eye during final baking so glaze doesn’t burn.
