Welcome to a delightful culinary experience with our Citrus-Glazed Ham! This recipe is not just a feast for the eyes, but also a flavor-packed centerpiece for your lunch or dinner gatherings. Imagine a beautifully cooked, fully-cooked bone-in ham, infused with a luscious citrus glaze that tantalizes the taste buds with every bite. With a blend of sweet orange marmalade, zesty Dijon mustard, and a hint of our favorite orange soda, this dish marries robust flavors harmoniously while being both gluten-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.
The preparation may take about 160 minutes, but the moments spent in anticipation are truly worth it.
