Ingredients

1 six pound fully cooked bone-in ham (butt end easier to carve)

1 16 ounce can of jellied cranberry sauce

1/2 cup of apple juice

1/4 cup of brandy

2 tbsp of lemon juice

1 tbsp of dijon mustard, coarse grind

2 teaspoons of sugar

2 teaspoons of grated lemon rind

2 teaspoons of grated orange rind

1/4 tsp of white pepper

1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger

1/16 teaspoon of ground clove, scant amount-clove can overpower sauce

1/2 cup of dried cranberries, coarsely chopped

Directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Remove tough skin, score fat cap in diamond pattern. Place ham in large roasting pan, cover with foil.

Bake about 2 hours until the meat thermometer reaches 140 degrees. Take the foil off after the first hour of baking.

In the meantime, in a small sauce pan, combine all the remaining ingredients and mix well with a wire whisk.

Cook until the jellied cranberry melts completely and the sauce is thoroughly heated. Stir frequently so it won't stick and burn.

Serve over heated ham slices.

(I love this meal with oven roasted brussel sprouts, tossed in balsalmic vingear and shallots) The combo just sings Christmas carols to me. Green and Ruby red on one plate.
