Indulge in a culinary journey with our delectable ham baked with a cider-raisin glaze, a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. This exceptional dish begins with a succulent ham, carefully selected for its tender texture and rich flavor. The glaze, a harmonious blend of sweet cider, plump raisins, brown sugar, and aromatic spices, forms a glistening crown atop the ham, caramelizing beautifully in the oven's heat. As the ham bakes, its juices mingle with the glaze, creating a savory sauce that infuses every bite with a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and savory notes. Accompanying the ham is a medley of complementary recipes that elevate the dining experience. A creamy scalloped potato casserole, with layers of thinly sliced potatoes bathed in a velvety sauce, offers a comforting and indulgent side dish. Garlic roasted green beans, tossed with olive oil, garlic, and a hint of lemon zest, add a vibrant pop of color and a burst of herbaceous flavor. For a touch of sweetness, a classic apple compote, featuring tender apple slices simmered in a cinnamon-spiced syrup, provides a delightful contrast to the savory main course.

THE BEST HAM GLAZE
A perfectly glazed ham is often the centerpiece of many holiday celebrations, including Easter and Christmas. Guests swoon over the juicy, savory slices on their plate. The most beautiful ham will have a tangy, sticky-sweet and shiny glaze. After tinkering with many ingredients, we landed on a knock-your-socks-off combination that includes brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and cloves for sweet, warm and slightly smoky notes. Dijon and a splash of apple cider vinegar add tang and zip while soy sauce gives it a great depth of flavor. Rounding out the glaze with brightness are the zest and juice of an orange. We hoped to only brush the ham once during baking, but test after test proved that glazing two more times during the last 30 minutes in the oven brings out the best flavors and creates the most magical sheen.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Let the ham sit at room temperature for 30 minutes and trim off any skin. If your ham is not a spiral-cut ham, use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat.
- Place the ham, flat side down, on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup water into the pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (about 15 minutes per pound-reduce the time to 10 minutes per pound for a spiral-cut ham).
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the brown sugar, maple syrup, soy sauce, orange zest and juice, Dijon, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, onion powder and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium saucepan until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the glaze has thickened and reduced by half (you should have 1 cup glaze), 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until the ham is ready.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Brush half of the glaze over the ham. If the water in the bottom of the pan has evaporated, add 1 cup water. Return the ham to the oven and roast for 30 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze every 10 minutes (two more times) before returning to the oven.
- Let the ham cool for 15 minutes before thinly slicing.

Tips:
- Use a bone-in ham for the best flavor and texture. Bone-in hams typically have more marbling than boneless hams and retain moisture better during cooking.
- Cover the ham with foil during baking to keep the meat moist. Basting the ham every 30-45 minutes will help to keep it from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the ham is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham or 165 degrees Fahrenheit for a fully cooked ham.
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a more tender ham.
- Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, and cranberry sauce.
Conclusion:
Ham baked with a cider-raisin glaze is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. The ham is succulent and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the meat. With a little planning, this dish is easy to make and sure to impress your guests.
