The holidays are approaching quick so time to start planning that Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner menu.

This Maple Glazed Spiral Ham is a great go-to recipe that is really simple and still has loads of flavor with its sweet glaze.

Maple Glazed Spiral Ham has a great sweet glaze baked over top with a little kick of mustard throughout. This ham pairs perfectly for those holiday dinner necessities like mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, homemade rolls and fresh vegetables.

The Ham

Picking the right ham is important. I typically go with a bone-in, spiral ham that has been pre-cooked. If you are a Costco member, I have had great luck with the Kirkland brand sold there. These spiral hams are really easy to bake and the pre-sliced spiral makes it easy to serve and holds in a lot of that delicious glaze for more flavor. You also need the right size ham. For the holidays, I go with one pound per person. This will leave you with plenty of meat for everyone and have some leftovers for soup or sandwiches the next day.
