What You Need

skinless bone-in ham (shank or butt-end portion) (7 lb.)

can (14 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce

1/4

cup KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

Tbsp. zest and 3 Tbsp. juice from 1 orange

Make It

HEAT oven to 325ºF.

PLACE ham in shallow pan. Score ham; cover with foil. Bake 1-1/2 hours. Meanwhile, microwave remaining ingredients in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 30 to 45 sec. or until cranberry sauce is melted. Reserve 1-3/4 cups cranberry mixture.

REMOVE foil from ham. Bake, uncovered, 1 hour or until ham is heated through (140ºF), brushing with remaining cranberry mixture every 20 min.

TRANSFER ham to cutting board; cover loosely with foil. Let stand 15 min. Slice ham; serve with reserved cranberry mixture.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with smart sides such as your favorite steamed vegetable and a baked potato.

Purchasing a Bone-In Ham

When purchasing a fully-cooked bone-in ham, look for a ham with a finely grained texture and rosy pink color. An iridescent appearance on the meat’s surface does not affect quality. Press the meat to make sure it feels firm, not spongy. Plan to get 4 to 5 servings from each pound of ham.

How to Score a Ham

Using a sharp knife, make 1/4-inch-deep parallel cuts, about 1 inch apart, in top surface of ham. Make additional scores at right angles to form diamond shapes.
