Instructions

MAKE THE GLAZE:

In a 3-quart saucepan, add the cranberries, orange juice, maple syrup and brown sugar.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cranberries soften and burst open.
Remove off of the heat and stir in the dijon, vinegar, ground clove and cayenne.
Using a immersion blender, puree until smooth.

MAKE THE HAM:

Preheat your oven to 325℉ (160℃) and lightly spray the wire rack in your roasting pan.
Remove and discard all the packaging from your ham. Place the ham flat or cut side down. Brush the ham with some of the cranberry blaze.
Slip the roasting pan with the ham onto the lowest rack in your preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes. If the ham is getting too dark too fast you can loosely cover with foil.
Remove (uncover if covered with foil) and glaze every 15 minutes for 45 minutes or until heated through.
Heat the remaining glaze and serve alongside the ham.
Garnish with sliced oranges and cranberries if desired.
