Ingredients

  • 8 -10 pound ham Bone-in, spiral cut

Glaze:

  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoon orange juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

Glaze Instructions:

  • Add all the ingredients, except Dijon mustard and ham, to a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously.
    Remove from heat and Whisk in Dijon mustard.

Ham:

  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F.
  • In a large roasting pan place ham, flat side down. Drizzle a small amount of the glaze on the ham, making sure to lightly coat all over.
    Cover the pan or wrap the top of the pan tightly in foil.
  • Cook until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 125˚F.
    Cooking time will vary based on weight of ham, but generally this will take about 13 minutes per pound.
  • Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 425˚F
  • Remove the foil and save it for the post-cook tenting and resting
  • Gently fan out the slices with a fork and brush the remainder of the glaze over the ham, making sure to coat all over.
  • Return ham to the oven and cook about 15 more minutes or until glaze is beautifully brown
    When the ham reaches an internal temperature of 135˚F-140˚F on a meat thermometer remove it from the oven, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Serve whole or sliced on a platter, and garnish if desired.

Notes

  • As it cools the glaze will harden, but you can gently reheat before using again 
  • If using a boneless ham the cooking time will be slightly less but aim for same internal temperatures
  • Want a sweeter ham? Use an additional 1/4 cup of brown sugar, use maple syrup instead of brown sugar, or use dark brown sugar
