Ham with Orange and Rosemary
Ham with Orange and Rosemary is a savory and aromatic dish perfect for special occasions. The ham is glazed with a mixture of orange juice, zest, and fresh rosemary, creating a sweet and fragrant coating. As the ham bakes, the glaze caramelizes, infusing the meat with citrusy notes and the piney aroma of rosemary. The result is a tender, juicy ham with a beautifully caramelized exterior, complemented by the tangy sweetness of orange and the earthy, herbal flavor of rosemary. This dish makes a stunning centerpiece for any festive meal.
