A delightful twist on a classic ham recipe, featuring a sweet and tangy strawberry citrus glaze.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham in a baking dish and cover with foil.
Covering the ham prevents it from drying out during baking.
Bake the ham for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Baking time may vary depending on the size of the ham; check the packaging for guidelines.
In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, honey, orange juice, cinnamon, and cloves.
Stirring constantly prevents the glaze from sticking to the pan.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Remove the foil from the ham and spoon the glaze over it.
Ensure the glaze coats the ham evenly for the best flavor.
Return the ham to the oven and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the glaze to caramelize slightly.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting the ham ensures the juices redistribute for a moist result.
