How to Make Cranberry Glaze For Ham

  1. Combine 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup cranberry juice, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the glaze has thickened slightly, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and mash gently with a potato masher or fork to achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother glaze, use an immersion blender.
  5. Spoon the glaze generously over your ham during the last 30 minutes of baking time, basting occasionally for even coverage.
  6. Garnish with fresh cranberries before serving.
