Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 fully cooked bone-in spiral-sliced ham, 8-10 pounds
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 10–12 minutes per pound, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
- While the ham heats, make the glaze. Add the honey, brown sugar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, butter, cinnamon, and cloves to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- During the last 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil and generously brush the ham with the honey glaze, making sure to get it between the slices.
- Return the uncovered ham to the oven and brush with additional glaze every 10 minutes. For an extra caramelized finish, increase the oven temperature to 400°F for the final 5–10 minutes, watching carefully so the glaze doesn’t burn.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the slices.
