EASY CITRUS HAM

Easy Citrus Ham image

I created this recipe many years ago with items I already had on hand. Since then, it has become a family favorite. The ham is succulent with a mild citrus flavor. I was asked to share the recipe with a church social and there were so many raves, I knew the recipe was a winner! -Sheila Christensen, San Marcos, California
