The sweet, tangy glaze that complements this ham looks so pretty, and the cranberry flavor pairs well with the meat. It’s been a tradition in my home for as long as I can remember. —Pattie Prescott, Manchester, New Hampshire

Spiral Ham with Cranberry Glaze Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 3 hours

Yield: 12-16 Servings

15 180 195

Ingredients

1 bone-in fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (8 pounds)
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
1 jar (12 ounces) red currant jelly
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake at 325° for 2-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, for glaze, combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until cranberries pop, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Uncover ham; bake 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with 1-1/2 cups glaze. Serve remaining glaze with ham. Yield: 12-16 servings.
