This glazed ham is a showstopper with minimal effort. It’s baked in two stages to keep it juicy on the inside and caramelized on the outside, with a sweet and tangy glaze made from orange marmalade, honey, and Dijon mustard. Plus, if you throw in some carrots, they roast beautifully alongside the ham, making it a one-pan wonder that’s perfect for Thanksgiving, holidays, or family dinners.
