- 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
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.
- 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
