Ham Baked With Orange Glaze for Gravy

Submitted by Zaney1

"This is an adopted recipe. I will post any revisions after I make it.I came up with this by accident one time, and my family especially the kids really enjoyed it. It's very flavorful and tastes good both on the ham and the mashed potatoes. I've made it using a processed or fully cooked ham, but my mom has used it with a bone-in ham and it was really good both ways."

This was okay. We baked a 4-lb pre-cooked ham for about 1 1/4 hours at 325 F. The marinade made an extremely sweet gravy. We ended up adding water, cream, salt, and pepper to try tone down the sweetness, and that improved it.
