Main ingredient: chicken

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup freshly squeeze orange juice
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon (or rum (optional))
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 oranges (sliced)
- 1 spiral sliced ham (1 lb per every person)
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F while you make the orange glaze for the ham.
- Melt the butter in a large sauce pot over medium heat and whisk in the brown sugar until it melts. Stir in the orange juice, honey, allspice, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, and the bourbon or rum if using; if the ham came with a glaze packet, that can be whisked in now as well.
- Bring the glaze to a simmer, whisking frequently. Stir in 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until thickened.
- Lay the orange slices in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and set the ham on top. Pour the remaining chicken broth into the bottom of the pan and pour half the glaze over the ham. Cover the pan with foil.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the ham is hot and steam escapes when the foil is lifted.
- Remove the foil, baste the ham with the juices in the pan, and return it to the oven for 15 minutes more.
- Broil on high for about 5 minutes, until the glaze has set and caramelized. Slice the ham and serve it with the rest of the orange bourbon honey glaze spooned over it.
