Spiced Holiday Ham Recipe

By sandiB2010

This glazed ham is one of my family's favorites, so I serve it often at holiday time. Currant jelly, mustard and brown sugar add a special flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 bone-in half ham (5 to 7 pounds)
• 15 whole cloves
• 1 jar (12 ounces) currant jelly
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Score ham; insert cloves in cuts. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 20 minutes per pound. Combine jelly, sugar, vinegar, mustard and cinnamon; brush half over ham. Bake 15 minutes. Brush remaining jelly mixture over ham. Bake for 15 minutes, basting occasionally, or until a meat thermometer reads 140°.
Yield: 8-10 servings.
