I think this Christmas ham recipe is my favorite because it is probably the most similar to one that my grandma made for the family when I was a child. Simple, common ingredients, old fashioned--and delicious.
My grandma didn't use many leeks or peppercorns in her hams--or honey, for that matter; but, I love the flavor combination in this ham.
I know. Serving a jerk seasoned ham for Christmas breaks tradition for most of us--but, sometimes, we just need a change. I love the citrus-rum glaze!
This recipe is in keeping with the traditional, old fashioned, glazed ham that we've all known and loved for the holidays--but, it combines ginger and peaches for something a little different.
Rachael Ray always keeps recipes and ingredients rather simple. This ham takes advantage of a glaze made with store-bought marmalade and fresh herbs.
I struggled with this recipe as we rarely drink soda in our house. I was a little hesitant, at first, to risk our family's ham by dousing it with a couple of liters of Coke! Of course, in the end, curiosity won out!

This ham is a little more labor intensive than some of the other recipes we have featured--but, the flavor is worth the effort!
This is another example of a simple glaze creating a flavorful ham. Mango chutney, garlic and citrus baked into a spiral sliced, Virginia ham.
Coating the ham with crushed gingersnaps caused me to raise an eyebrow--but, since I love ginger glazed hams--it was a recipe worth a try!
