Bags of plump cranberries on store shelves tell us that Christmas is just around the corner. Cranberries freeze very well so I buy a number of bags to freeze to use later in the year. I love their tartness in cheesecakes, pies, drinks, and also dried for snacking. They also star in this glaze. Spiral-cut Ham baked with cranberry sauce will be served for our Christmas dinner this year.

Cranberry Glaze for Ham THM-S

• 1 3/4 cups whole cranberries
• 3/4 cups water
• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar Sweetener or THM Gentle Sweet
• 2-3 tablespoons stone ground mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon orange flavoring
• 10-14 pound spiral cut ham

In a saucepan cook cranberries and water together until cranberries are soft. Cool. In a blender jar combined cooked cranberries, sweetener, mustard and orange flavoring. Blend until smooth. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place ham in a baking pan. Brush sauce over the ham. Cover tightly with foil. Bake ham for 18 minutes per pound. Baste with sauce 3 times while baking. I heat the remaining sauce with the ham broth from baking the ham. Serve it along with the ham. 2 cups Cranberry Sauce.
