Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. For this recipe, a bone-in ham is best. It will be more flavorful and juicy than a boneless ham.
  • Score the ham. This will help the glaze to penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
  • Make the glaze ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the ham should reach 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium ham, or 150 degrees Fahrenheit for a well-done ham.
  • Let the ham rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This cranberry-glazed ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The ham is moist and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
