Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking pan with foil. Make sure the pan is large enough to accommodate the sliced side of the ham before unwrapping. Then unwrap the ham and place sliced-side down, pouring all the package juices over it.

In a small bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, juice, clove, garlic powder and mustard. Mix well. Spoon the glaze over the ham, trying to cover all the exposed sides. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes per pound. Halfway through baking, carefully spoon over the ham the juices and glaze that have pooled in the bottom of the pan; continue baking.

In the last 15 to 20 minutes, if the ham begins to darken too much, place a sheet of foil over it and continue baking until warmed through completely. Serve immediately, or cool to room temperature and store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. Ham may also be sliced or chopped, and frozen, tightly sealed, for up to three months.

Note: "Natural" or "Not from Concentrate" orange juice tends to be less sugary than juice from concentrate. Any breakfast-style orange juice can be used in equal amounts, but will affect the amount of carbohydrates in the nutritional data.
