EASY ORANGE CRANBERRY GLAZE
A good, easy, yummy glaze that can be used on chicken or turkey. I came up with this a few years ago for Thanksgiving, to change up the old boring turkey. Everyone loved it. There was no left-over turkey that year.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: For the best flavor, choose a bone-in ham that is fully cooked and smoked. This will ensure that the ham is juicy and flavorful.
- Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the glaze penetrate the meat and creates a crispy crust.
- Make the glaze ahead of time: The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Don't overcook the ham: Overcooked ham is dry and tough. Cook the ham according to the package directions or use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ham rest before serving: Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
This Christmas ham with fresh cranberry-orange glaze is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for your holiday table. The ham is juicy and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
