Ingredients

• 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (6 to 8 pounds)
• Whole cloves
• 3 cans (14 ounces each) jellied or whole-berry cranberry sauce
• 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1-1/2 cups dry red wine or chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. If desired, score the surface of the ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep. Insert cloves into the surface. Loosely cover ham with foil; bake 1-1/2 hours.

In a large saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, brown sugar and wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; whisk in mustard.

Pour 2 cups cranberry mixture over ham. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140°. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining sauce.
Yield: 12 servings (4 cups sauce).
