This ham is super easy and truely de-lish. I served it with Brussels Sprouts with Pecans, and Cinnamon Stewed Apples for dinner. (Then I served the apples and ham again for breakfast the next morning with french toast!)

I was wondering if someone had posted this recipe! I have made this ham for Christmas for the past two years; including my first time hosting Christmas at my house, and plan to make it again this year! It's very easy to do and the ham turned out moist and flavorful each time. I have always used a spiral cut ham and it works great. The dijon and blackberry go together perfectly and offer a very unique taste to the ham! I will say that my 7 pound ham would not have even come close to feeding 20, so I think that a serving adjustment may be in order, since this recipe calls for only a 5lb ham.
