This is the second ham dish I have baked to date and I must say I am so much more partial to this recipe as opposed to my original brown sugar bourbon glazed recipe. There’s something so perfect between the strong citrus flavor and the salty and sweet ham. This cranberry orange glazed ham perfect for the holidays or any gathering as it is not laborious to make feeds many with other complimenting side dishes.

1 (8-pound) full cooked ham, spiral sliced

4. Pour additional orange juice into base of roasting pan and arrange orange slices and cranberries (optional) around ham.
5. Place top on roasting pan or tent with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour.
