Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 whole smoked ham (about 2.5 pounds (a city ham or Prague ham))
  • 2/3 cup real maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 orange ((zest and juice))
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves ((optional))
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 3/4 cup fresh cranberries

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a large baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the ham to the baking dish and score the top (skin side up) with a sharp knife in a diagonal cross pattern (instructions in blog post above).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, the dijon mustard, the orange zest and juice, cloves (if using), and pepper until the glaze is smooth and everything is incorporated.
  • Stir in the cranberries.
  • Pour the glaze over the ham, pressing many of the cranberries into the cracks on the top if possible.
  • Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (or 63 degrees Celsius). Use a meat thermometer or an instant read meat thermometer to ensure the ham isn't over-cooked or under-cooked.
  • Baste the ham once through cooking (after 30 minutes) by drizzling the glaze from the bottom of the pan over the ham while it roasts.
  • Let the ham rest covered with aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
