Preparation: 20 minutes

Cooking: 2 hours

Total: 2 hours 20 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 ready-to-eat ham, boneless (4-5 pounds)
1 cup cranberry sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 star anise pods
1 orange, zested and juiced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham on a baking rack in a roasting pan.
In a small saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, star anise pods, orange zest, and juice. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get it into any crevices. Reserve some of the glaze for serving.
Roast the ham in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the reserved glaze.
