This is an old family favorite that is a Holiday tradition at our house. It is easy to make and is requested every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 
Ingredients:
 
1/4 Cup Cherry Preserves
2 Teaspoons Prepared Mustard
Dash of Ground Cloves
 
Directions:

Combine the cherry preserves, mustard, and cloves in a mixing bowl until evenly mixed. Store covered until ready to use.
 
At the last 15 minutes of baking time for your ham, use a spoon or a baster to remove the fat from the bottom of the pan. Spoon 1/2 of the glaze over the ham and let continue baking for 10 more minutes. After the 10 minutes has passed or the until your baking thermometer reads 140 degrees, spoon the remaining glaze over the ham and let finish baking. 
 
 The glaze is best fresh made, but it can be refrigerated for a day or so. If the glaze has been refrigerated, it must be taken out of the refrigerator well before use and warmed to room temperature before use.
 
Makes about 1/4 cup of glaze.
