Christmas Eve Holiday Ham

This year we hosted family from Michigan for Christmas. On Christmas Day, my dad and I baked a  ham and a gratin with root vegetables from southern Minnesota. We also made green beans with Shallots, and for dessert, my mom made an upside down Maple and Pear Cake.
 
This was the first time our family has baked a fresh ham. I highly recommend doing so for any holiday celebration. We had never bought a ham that was not smoked and/or cured before. We glazed the ham ourselves with a delicious mix of tangerine juice, maple syrup, brown sugar, and several flavorful spices. The meal was truly outstanding.
