great holiday recipe, courtesy of Safeway! (you can make sauce up to a day ahead of baking the ham, just cover and refrigerate.)

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 cups dried cherries
1 1/4 cups port wine
3/4 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon orange zest
1 teaspoon cinnamon

How To Make cherry-maple glaze for baked ham

Step 1

Mix cornstarch with water and set aside. In large saucepan, combine cherries, port, syrup, vinegar, zest and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and simmer until cherries are plump, about 10 minutes. Remove half the mixture from pan and whirl in blender until smooth; use the smooth half to glaze ham periodically while it's baking; reserve whole-cherry glaze.

Step 2

Combine beef broth with reserved whole-cherry glaze in pan over medium-high heat. Stir often until mixture boils; briskly stir in cornstarch mixture until sauce boils again.
Step 3

Serve whole-cherry sauce alongside baked ham.
