Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Select a fully cooked spiral-cut ham for easy slicing and serving. Aim for a ham that's about 10-12 pounds to feed a crowd.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
  • Make the cherry glaze: Combine cherry preserves, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and orange juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Glaze the ham: Brush the ham with the cherry glaze, making sure to coat it evenly. Cover the ham with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
  • Rest the ham: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham.

Conclusion:

This Christmas Cherry Ham Glaze recipe is a delicious and elegant dish that is sure to impress your guests. The sweet and tangy glaze pairs perfectly with the savory ham, and the spiral-cut ham makes it easy to slice and serve. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can create a festive and flavorful ham that will be the star of your holiday table.
