Ham with Orange and Mustard Glaze

Ham with Orange and Mustard Glaze

If you want to try something different than Turkey for Thanksgiving, here's a really tasty ham recipe - and it is really easy to make.
  • 1 (10-pound) whole bone-in smoked ham
Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 large orange - finely grate the rind and use the juice
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (use stone-ground mustard if you prefer)
  • 1 stick of cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raisins (golden raisins is the best)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Bake ham according to package directions. During last 15 minutes of baking, pour sauce over ham.

To prepare sauce, combine water, salt and flour in a saucepan, stir well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes clear. Add remaining ingredients. Return to a boil and cook over medium heat 20 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard.

Pour sauce over ham during last 15 minutes of cooking time. 

Serves 20.
