It’s sweet and tart, and with hints of orange and bursts of mustard.
A perfect taste combination for ham!
When you are buying a ham, you have a couple choices to make.

We are using a spiral cut ham for this recipe, but you could easily use a non-pre-cut ham.
Hams are sold as halves.
The “shank” cut has just one straight bone, and slightly leaner meat.

Look for a ham without added water, or with just natural juices.
These hams will be the most flavorful.
(It’s already cooked, you’re just heating it.)
Place the jellied cranberry sauce in a small saucepan on low heat.
Whisk in the orange juice and brown sugar until the brown sugar is dissolved.
Add the strips of orange zest.
Heat until bubbly and whisk until smooth.
Then remove from heat, take out the orange strips, and stir in the mustard.
When the ham is ready, remove from oven.
Open up the foil and paint the ham with half of the glaze.
Keep the ham uncovered and return to the oven, bake at 425F for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and baste with the remaining glaze.
Transfer ham to a serving dish.
Use a paring knife to cut around the bone to separate the spiral cut slices from the bone.
If you want pour some of the remaining pan juices over the ham.
(Great flavor!)
see to it to save the bone forham soup!
