Honey-Glazed Ham
Succulent, slow-cooked ham glazed with a zesty blend of brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice, and Dijon mustard makes an impressive display for a holiday spread or special weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- fully-cooked, bone-in ham (4.54 kg)
- packed dark brown sugar (1.25 cups)
- pineapple juice (0.33 cups)
- honey (0.33 cups)
- orange (0.33 large)
- Dijon mustard (2 tablespoons)
- ground cloves (0.25 teaspoon)
- lemon juice (1.5 teaspoons)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
- While the ham is baking, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, and 1/3 cup honey in a saucepan. Zest orange into the saucepan, then squeeze in the juice. Add Dijon mustard and ground cloves; whisk mixture over medium-high heat as it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until glaze thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Taste glaze and adjust seasonings. Add lemon juice for more tang, or honey to make it sweeter. Set aside.
- Remove ham from the oven after it has baked for 2 hours. Brush with glaze. Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
