Holiday Ham with Orange Cranberry Glaze

 

This Holiday Ham is a delicious and easy Holiday meal made extra special with a homemade orange cranberry glaze. It starts with a store bought, fully cooked, spiral sliced ham. In this recipe we simply season and re-smoke that ham ad apply a delicious glaze near the end. This is where the classic, double smoked, names comes from.
