Baked Ham with Cherry Sauce

For happy holiday cooking

  • 1/2  fully cooked bone-in ham, about 6 - 7 pounds
  • 1 jar (12 oz.) cherry preserves
  • 1/4 cup  cider or red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg
  • 3 tablespoons slivered almonds
 

Method

Preheat oven to 325°F.  

If it's your preference, you can remove the   skin from ham and score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, in preheated 325° F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours  or until a meat thermometer reads 140F. 

In a medium saucepan, combine the preserves, vinegar, corn syrup, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stirring often. When boiling, immediately reduce heat to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for 2  minutes.

Remove from the heat; stir in almonds.  Serve in a gravy boat with the ham.

Serves: 10 - 12 with about 1 1/2 cups sauce
