I absolutely love this recipe, I mad it last year for Thanksgiving and it was a great success with my husband! He's a very picky eater and not afraid to let me know when somethings not good. My ham turned out wonderfully Can't wait to make it again this year once again for my family!

I used Rita's ham for Easter (my first time cooking a ham)-everyone raved! I cooked exactly as stated in the recipe. I used an 8 lb ham for 2.5 hrs. Used a larger oven bag so as not to rip, and also cut the ends of the toothpicks shorter so they wouldn't poke through the bag. Will definitely use again!

Followed the exact recipe. It was my 1st Easter ham and I'm not the best cook (getting there), so my guests were a little scared, but when I popped this out of the oven it smelled wonderful and looked beautiful... taste results: OUTSTANDING!! Loved by all!

I made this for my big Easter dinner. It was a huge disappointment. The ham did not soak up any of the juice or flavor. The bit of ham that sat in the liquid tasted a like Gingerale or a Shirley Temple. The ingredients were so expensive too. I would have been better off to just cook the ham as indicated by the package it came in, as use the glaze it came with. Perhaps it would have been better with pineapple juice instead of gingerale as some reviewers did. I think I'll stick to my grandmother's brown sugar glaze recipe for ham.

All I can say is WOW! This ham was the best ham I've ever had! I made this for Easter dinner I followed the recipe to a T, except I put it all together the day before and put it in the fridge over night so I wasn't having to mess with putting it together on Sunday morning.. This will be the way I make ham from now on! Thanks for a great recipe!

I made this recipe for Easter. I did not have Marichino Cherries in the jar I had to use canned sweet dark cherries because I had send my husband out for them and that is what he came back with. Lesson Learned. I had some tough critics over for Easter, my in-laws and my parents. They raved about my ham... loved it. Thank you for such a great tasting ham recipe.

No rave reviews. The ham did not soak up the juice and lacked any flavor.

I usually will read reviews of a recipe before trying it. It seems to me, that the two that were negative, that those 2 people might not have followed the recipe as they should have. Most reviews were very positive and I plan on trying this sweet ham recipe this Easter.

I have never made a ham before, but my husband requested one for our first Christmas together. He wanted a sweet ham so I decided to give this recipe a try. It was so easy. We had friends over for Christmas dinner and everyone loved it. Two of us don't even like ham, yet we found ourselves taking seconds. I am going to prepare a ham for Easter using the same recipe.

2-18-09. I wanted to make a ham before my daughter left for Japan w/ the Navy. I'm so glad I made this recipe. If you like a ham on the sweet side this is a great recipe to try. Everyone loved it. I've never used a bag before; easy clean up, and it helped get all the flavor through out the ham. I'm using this recipe for Easter also.Update. I did make this for Easter. It's wounderful!!

YUM, YUM, YUM. I used this for our family xmas party. Rave Reviews from everyone. The best ham I have ever had. This was also the first ham I ever cooked. Had a 20lb ham took about 5 hours to cook. All I had to do was make the sauce put it and the ham in the bag and forget about it. If you want to impress, this is the recipe for you.

I did this recipe for Christmas dinner. It was a big hit. It was very moist with just a hint of sweetness. I scored the ham outside of the bag first. Much easier! I let it sit in the bag with the juices a day before I baked it. This was my first baked ham and everyone said it was a definite do-over.

I made this last night for New Year's Eve when we were having about 20 people over. I followed the recipe exactly as written and it was FABULOUS!! There was nothing left and people were asking for the recipe. Putting it in the oven bag really keeps it moist. Really delicious.
