Description
A beautifully glazed holiday ham with a sticky brown sugar and honey crust, perfect for gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1 fully cooked ham (6-8 pounds)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Mix brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and cinnamon in a bowl to make the glaze.
- Brush the glaze over the ham and cover it loosely with foil.
- Bake the ham for about 1 hour, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze.
- Remove the foil and bake the ham for an additional 15 to 30 minutes until the exterior caramelizes and the ham is heated through.
- Let the ham rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Score the fat lightly in a diamond pattern for better glaze adherence. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
