Citrus Glazed Ham

Even though this recipe is simple to prepare, it looks very elegant on a platter garnished with ruffled greens and orange slices. I served this at a large family gathering and everyone commented on the wonderful combination of flavors in this ham. From Southern Living April 2006.
