If I am serving ham at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any other occasion, this is the way I do it. If a holiday meal features both turkey and ham, the ham is always most popular and disappears before the turkey does.
- 1 fully cooked lean ham
- 1 cup apricot or peach jam
- 1 ½ tbsps. each of white vinegar and Dijon mustard
- I tbsp. orange zest (If I don’t have an orange, I will leave this out.)
- ¼ tsp. ground allspice (If you don’t have a jar of allspice, this is the recipe: ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp ground cloves, ¼ tsp nutmeg.)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Slice ham into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange in a 9 x 13” baking dish.
Combine jam, vinegar, mustard, orange zest, and allspice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until bubbly.
Spoon over ham, making sure each slice is coated.
Cover and bake for 30-35 minutes until ham is heated through.
6 – 8 servings.
