Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, you can substitute maple syrup for the brown sugar in the glaze. If you don't have orange liqueur, a splash of orange juice combined with a bit of zest works well. Ensure the ham is at room temperature before baking for even cooking. For a visually appealing finish, consider garnishing with fresh peach slices after glazing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the glazed ham with sides like roasted vegetables or a refreshing Grape-Nuts Salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with a light peach or orange salad to complement the flavors. For a sweet finish, consider serving alongside Tangy Applesauce Bars for dessert, making for a delightful meal.
