Holiday Ham

Holiday Ham with Orange Marmalade Glaze is a the perfect main dish for your next holiday meal.

Our Thanksgiving dinner usually has at least two main courses including smoked turkey and glazed ham. We love to use the grill for added flavor and to free up the oven for pies and dinner rolls!

Ingredients Needed for Holiday Ham with Orange Marmalade Glaze

• Bone-in Half Ham or spiraled bone-in ham
• Whole Cloves
• Orange Marmalade
• Orange Juice
• Yellow Mustard (like French’s) or Dijon if preferred.
• Granulated Garlic

Instructions to Make a Holiday Ham on the Grill

1. Make the glaze by whisking orange marmalade, orange juice, a spoonful of mustard and garlic together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

2. Pat ham dry with paper towels and place cut side down onto a baking sheet.
3. Score the ham by making 1 inch deep slices across the entire ham about 1 inch apart. Turn the ham and make slices in the other direction, creating a crosshatch pattern.
4. Stick cloves into the ham.
5. Use a foil pan or create a foil boat using heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the ham onto the foil pan, cut side down, scored side up.
6. Pour half of the glaze over the ham.
7. Cook the ham over indirect fire with the grill closed.

8. Baste ham, using a silicone brush with the glaze from the bottom of the pan in 30 minute intervals.
9. When ham reaches 150° using a digital thermometer, pour the remaining glaze over the ham and continue to cook until internal temperature of ham reaches 165°. Total cooking time will depend on the size of your ham.

10. Remove from grill and set aside to cool 20 minutes before slicing.

11. Move to a cutting board and carve the ham into thin slices using a sharp knife.

Recipe Notes

• Storage: Store leftover ham in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in several layers of plastic wrap for 3- 4 days in the refrigerator. To freeze ham, place in a freezer bag or vacuum seal bag and freeze up to 3 months.
• Reheat: To reheat ham, place in a covered skillet with a few tablespoons of water, turning the ham slices after a few minutes to heat from both sides.
• Oven Method: If you don’t have a grill this recipe will also work in a conventional oven in a roasting pan, just use the same times and oven temperature.
• Variations: Use toothpicks to insert maraschino cherries into the ham before grilling. Add about a teaspoon of cinnamon to the glaze for additional flavor. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the sauce for a tangy glaze.
• Garnish Ideas: Fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, sliced oranges and fresh cranberries make a beautiful holiday centerpiece.
