How to Make Ham Baked With Orange Glaze For Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Score the ham in a crosshatch pattern about 1/2 inch deep. Insert whole cloves into the scores (approximately 1 clove per score).
  3. Place the ham in an oven-safe dish.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, and 1/2 cup fresh orange juice.
  5. Pour the orange glaze evenly over the ham.
  6. Bake for 60-90 minutes, or until heated through and the glaze is bubbly. Internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C).
  7. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. While the ham rests, drain the pan juices into a saucepan.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry.
  10. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the pan juices, stirring constantly over low heat until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5 minutes).
  11. Serve the glazed ham with the delicious orange gravy, alongside mashed potatoes or your favorite side dishes.
