Everyone loves a ham at big holiday meals. It has always been one of those things our family had around Easter and Christmas. Since I am no longer eating meat, this isn't something I will make, but I know this recipe is a great option for those that will. My friend made this for us last year and agreed to share her recipe here so I could share a tried and true option for a spiral ham recipe.

4 PointsPlus
The points calculations on this spiral ham recipe are for a 3-ounce portion. Hams vary a lot in size, so I am not adding a specific number of servings since your ham may have more or less. If you want the most accurate points value, you'll need to use a digital kitchen scale for weighing the meat before eating.
Serve this spiral ham recipe for your next big family meal or holiday event. The bright orange flavor compliments the natural sweetness of the pork, and this recipe is easy for even a novice cook to follow.
