Ingredients:

10 lb (5 kg) 1 fully cooked whole ham
1/2 cup (125 mL) water or fruit juice
1 cup (250 mL) Smucker's® Cherry Jam

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Place ham on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Place 1/2 cup (125 mL) water or juice into pan. Bake covered, in preheated oven for about 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan combine the cherry jam, vinegar, corn syrup and cinnamon. Cook and stir until boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in almonds. Remove from heat.
