Cranberry Glazed Ham

From the Kitchen of Cheryl Qualls

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons paked dark-brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon grated grated orange zest
  • 1 3-in piece cinnamon stick
  • 1 small boneless fully-cooked smoked ham (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, stir together cranberry sauce, mustard, brown sugar, orange zest and cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick before using.
  2. Heat oven to 350. Place ham on rack in roasting pan cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
  3. Remove foil and brush with some of the cranberry glaze. Bake 15 minutes. Brush again with glaze and bake an additional 15 minutes or until heated through. Slice and serve with remaining glaze.
  4. Do-ahead tip: If not serving right away, do not slice. Cool and wrap in foil. To serve, heat gently in oven or serve at room temperature.
