Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked, smoked, bone-in ham, (about 10 pounds), trimmed of excess fat and skin Whole cloves, for ham (about 45) 2 cups apple cider 1 1/2 cups honey 1 cinnamon stick 5 Bosc pears, quartered and cored 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Score ham all over in a diamond pattern; insert cloves into diamonds. Place the ham in a large roasting pan. Pour cider and 1 cup honey over the ham. Bake 1 hour, basting with pan juices halfway through.

Add cinnamon and pears to pan. Bake 45 minutes, basting twice. Sprinkle cranberries over pears; bake until pears are tender and cranberries begin to burst, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fruit to a shallow bowl; cover with foil, and set aside.

Ladle juices from pan into a medium saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup honey, the sugar, and ginger. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Cook until mixture is syrupy and has reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Pour glaze over ham; bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven; brush ham with glaze from pan. Let rest 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, and carve. Pour pan juices over pears and cranberries in bowl; serve with ham.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       12/15/2013   I used this recipe tonight with a farm fresh ham and it was the most amazing ham I've ever eaten! My guests raved about it, even the ones who claimed to have never liked ham. It will be my new go-to christmas ham recipe, for sure. Thank you Martha!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/21/2012   HELP! How do I adjust this recipe if I am using a semi-boneless ham?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/16/2012   A wonderful recipe that even an infrequent cook can manage.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2011   I have made this ham for Thanksgiving every year for the last 5 years! It is THE best ham recipe around! SO easy too and it looks very pretty with the pears and cranberries surrounding it!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/20/2008   This is the best ham recipe I've ever made. I get requests for this every Christmas and Easter. The pears and cranberries make a great side dish  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/19/2007   This is a wonderfully sweet ham! It is a favorite of mine and my extended family. We were discussing the Thanksgiving menu the other day and my mother in law requested that I make this ham. Everyone agreed, so I know that it was a big hit!
