Recipe of the Month – December 2025

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups pulp-free orange juice
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 cup yellow mustard
• 1 fully cooked, bone-in ham (6-8 pounds)
• 30 whole cloves

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Whisk together the orange juice, sugar, ginger, and mustard.
2. With a sharp knife, remove any skin from the ham and trim the covering of fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Score the ham surface in a diamond pattern, making shallow cuts every 3/4 inch. Insert a clove in the center of each diamond.
3. Place the ham in a 9-by-13-inch roasting pan lined with aluminum foil. Pour the whisked mixture over the ham. Bake on the lowest oven rack for 3 hours, basting the ham with the juices every 30 minutes. When you remove the ham from the oven, let it stand 15 minutes before slicing to yield 8 to 10 servings.
