Does anybody else have a favorite holiday ham recipe?
This is one of my favorites:
Orange and Madeira-Glazed Ham with Raisin Sauce
(7-pound) smoked, fully cooked bone-in ham
– 2 cups water
– 2 (14½-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
– 1 1/2 cups Madeira wine, divided
– 2 bay leaves
– 2/3 cup golden raisins
– 2/3 cup dark raisins
– 1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange-juice concentrate, defrosted
– Whole cloves
– 1 tablespoon arrowroot
1. Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 325 degrees. Trim any tough rind and fat from upper side of ham, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer of fat. Using a sharp knife, score fat in a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern. Place ham in shallow pan. Pour 2 cups water into pan, cover with aluminum foil and bake 1½ hours.
2. Combine broth, 1/2 cup Madeira and bay leaves, and bring to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add raisins. Cool.
3. Combine remaining 1 cup Madeira and orange-juice concentrate in medium bowl. After 1½ hours, remove ham from oven and pour off liquid. Insert clove into center of each scored diamond. Pour 1/4 of orange mixture over ham and continue baking, uncovered, 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes. Pour whatever is left of the orange mixture over the ham during the last 10 minutes.
4. Remove the ham to a cutting board. Place the pan with its liquid on top of the stove. Dissolve the arrowroot in ¼ cup of the raisin sauce and add the remaining raisin sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil, add the dissolved arrowroot and cook until lightly thickened.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Love raisin sauce w/ham. Maybe next ham, I'll fix some. DH doesn't like it, but he doesn't have to eat it, does he?
Hop over to the Food and Drink forum, check out the what's for dinner thread and you'll find all kinds of ham recipes. It just cropped up yesterday and today. Enjoy!

Reading through all of those suggestions and recipes for ham is what gave me the idea for this topic.
The glaze I like use contains Brown Sugar, whiskey of choice, and ginger. I coat the ham in mustard
in sauce pan add whiskey, ginger and brown sugar... heat to burn off alcohol and combine ingreadants.
I coat the ham with mustard and then brush on the brown surgar glaze and throw it all back in the over for another half hour or so. The heat is about 350... Too hot or too long and it burns up.

Hmmm...This does sound good.
