Cranberry-Glazed Ham

Course Dinner, Holidays
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Resting time 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 40 minutes
Servings 16 servings

Ingredients

  • precooked half ham, ideally not spiral cut

For the glaze

  • 13 oz jar orange marmalade
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened 100% cranberry juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground clove
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300. Lay the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan, trim off any thick pieces of fat and score the outside of the ham in a cross-hatch pattern with 1in spacing (approximate - don't worry about making it perfect).
  • Whisk together all of the glaze ingredients and pour over the ham. Cover loosely with foil and place in the oven for 2 hours. Remove the foil and increase the temperature to 350 and baste every 20-30 minutes until glazed. If the pan becomes too dry add more chicken stock or water to loosen the glaze.
  • Once caramelized, remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before carving. Serve the ham topped with more of the reduced glaze from the pan. Enjoy!
