Description

This vibrant fruit glaze combines the tartness of cranberry-orange preserves with the natural sweetness of apricot or peach preserves to create a glossy, flavorful finish for your holiday ham. The bright citrus notes cut through the richness of the pork, while the stone fruit adds depth and a beautiful amber hue. It is incredibly simple to prepare, requiring only a few minutes of mixing before being spooned over the meat. This glaze caramelizes slightly in the oven, creating a sticky, appetizing crust that enhances both the visual appeal and taste of the dish. Ideal for Christmas dinners, Easter celebrations, or any occasion where you are serving a roasted ham, this recipe ensures a professional-quality result with pantry staples.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine cranberry-orange preserves and apricot preserves in a small bowl, stirring until fully blended.
  2. Remove the baking ham from the oven approximately 30 minutes before the end of its total cook time.
  3. Lightly score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern to help the glaze adhere.
  4. Spoon the fruit glaze evenly over the entire surface of the ham.
  5. Return the ham to the oven and bake for the remaining 30 minutes, basting with pan juices occasionally.
