Ham is a great choice for Christmas dinner. Not only is it a breeze to make (simply warm the roast through and finish with a delicious glaze during the final few minutes in the oven) but it’s always sure to please. Simply pair with a salad and a few festive side dishes and you’ve got yourself a meal that young and old alike will enjoy — and that’s worthy of a once-a-year celebration. There are a lot of ways to dress your ham up but we’re partial to a holiday classic: pineapple rings, maraschino cherries and a glossy glaze made with pineapple juice, honey and brown sugar.

The most beautiful ham will have a tangy, sticky-sweet and shiny glaze. After tinkering with many ingredients, we landed on a knock-your-socks-off combination that includes brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and cloves for sweet, warm and slightly smoky notes. Dijon and a splash of apple cider vinegar add tang and zip while soy sauce gives it a great depth of flavor. Rounding out the glaze with brightness are the zest and juice of an orange. We hoped to only brush the ham once during baking, but test after test proved that glazing two more times during the last 30 minutes in the oven brings out the best flavors and creates the most magical sheen.

For an easy, impressive centerpiece during the holidays, you can’t beat a big ham. It takes very little time to prepare and is versatile enough to go with any of your favorite side dishes.
