If you’re feeding a crowd this Easter (or any holiday for that matter) it’s always good to plan ahead and think about your menu. We all know all the flavor comes from the glaze and for presentation purposes, I studded my ham with whole cloves.

The delicious glaze of fresh orange juice and zest, honey, brown sugar, all spice and bourbon are all cooked together in a pan until thick and syrupy. The top of the ham is scored into a decorative diamond pattern and studded with whole cloves, then baked and glazed.

If you are serving this ham to kiddies, you could  give them slices of  ham without any glaze as there is plenty of ham without it.

Did I mention this ham also makes great leftovers?  One of my most popular recipes right now is ham and split pea soup. You can grab the recipe here.

Here are some delicious side dishes to serve with the ham. Slow cooker green beans with shallots & almonds, crockpot orange, honey & herb glazed carrots (recipe link below).
