HOW TO COOK A SPIRAL HAM AND A GLAZE RECIPE

Steps:

• Let your wrapped ham sit on the counter for about an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 275F. Line two pieces of foil in different directions on top of a large baking sheet. Remove all the packaging from the ham and discard (keep the glaze if you're using that in place of the one posted here, otherwise you can discard it). Place the ham on top of the foil.
• Mix together all the ham glaze ingredients. Spread the glaze all over the top and sides of the ham and between each slice (you can use a brush but I find that using my hands is easiest). Pull up the sides of the foil and wrap the ham gently (not loose but not too tight, either), using additional foil if necessary.
• Place the ham in the oven and bake it for approximately 18 minutes per pound, opening the foil to baste with the juices a couple of times during cooking.
• Remove from the oven and baste once more with the juices (you can serve extra at the table if desired).

SPIRAL HAM WITH CRANBERRY GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare ham according to directions on package. The ham that I had called for pre heating the oven to 325 degrees F.
• 2. Wrapping ham tightly in aluminum foil. I used several layers. If using a plastic bag the time required is usually about 14 minutes per pound, or 17 minutes per pound if wrapped in foil. BUT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS ON HAM PACKAGE. My ham required a temperature of 325 for about 90 minutes for the size of ham I had.
• 3. Then I removed foil and added glaze to ham and baked for an additional 25 minutes. Note you can double the glaze recipe if you would like to have extra on the side.
• 4. TO MAKE THE GLAZE: In a medium sauce pan or bowl add the cranberry sauce, brown sugar cloves and lemon juice, stir till well mixed then brush over ham liberally, and return to oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes or so.
• 5. Please note I lined the platter with green leafy Kale then separated ham slices, and arranged them on a platter. Then used a V tool to make the star burst orange and lemon halves and added a maraschino cherry half in the center.

• Remove all of the netting and wrapping from the ham and lay the ham in a large foil pan. Pull the slices apart one by one and drizzle honey glaze down in between the pieces. You will want to hold the front so the slices do not fall all the way over and tear. After that brush the top of the ham with glaze.
• Prep your smoker according to manufacture's directions. We used cherry wood pellets in our Traeger electric smoker. Set your smoker for cooking at about 230 - 240 degrees F. Place the pan with the spiral cut ham on the smoker and close lid. Baste the ham every hour with more of the glaze.
• The smoking process will take 3 hours. This is a double smoked ham so the ham is already cooked, this process adds more smoke flavor and the glaze.

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Make sure oven racked is at the bottom. Remove the rack from the roasting pan and add the star anise and a handful of whole cloves to the pan. Fill with an inch of water. Place rack back in.

• Add orange zest (optional), cayenne, mustard, vinegar and brown sugar and stir until smooth.
• Allow to cook for another 3-5 mins or until sauce thickens up. Either using an immersion blender, a regular blender or a food processor, blend sauce until it's nice and smooth. Set aside.
