Orange Glazed Ham

 Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to find spiral cut hams in the stores. Most come with a packet of spices you can use when you bake them. In fact I found a salted caramel flavored one. I wish I had tried it. I had this recipe that I wanted to try so I set aside the spice packet for another day.

It came out really nice with a lot of juices and smelling great.

This is all you need to make a flavorful ham.

Take the ham out of its packaging and place in a baking dish.

Measure out 1/3 cup orange juice.

6 oz of a lemon lime soda or ginger ale. I had Sprite so that is what I used.

Mix the two

I decided I wanted the ham on its side but it was not cooperating with me. Pour the liquid all over he ham.

I added these skewers to keep the pieces together.

Now put 6 ish Tablespoons of brown sugar on top and in between the slices.

The brown sugar is all over the ham.

Cover well with foil. Place in a preheated 325 oven. Bake for about 2 hours.

After two hours. Take the foil off.

Baste some with the juices. Put back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

Let it sit for a few minutes before removing the slices from the bone.
