How To Make A Honey Glaze For A Ham

Are you looking for a delicious ham recipe that will leave your taste buds watering? Look no further! Today, we're going to show you how to make a mouth-watering honey glazed ham that your family and friends will absolutely love Glazed Spiral Ham .

Ingredients:

1 fully-cooked, bone-in ham (7-10lbs)
1 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp ground cloves

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Remove any packaging or wrapping from the ham and place it in a baking dish or roasting pan.
Cut shallow, diamond-shaped cuts into the ham's surface, about 1/4 inch deep.
Mix together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and ground cloves in a bowl until well-combined.
Brush the honey glaze all over the surface of the ham, making sure to get in between the cuts you made earlier.
Cover the ham with foil and bake for about 15 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and thicken.
Let the ham rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Serve:

This honey glazed ham is perfect for any occasion! Serve it up with some classic holiday sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, and stuffing. Or, slice it thin for sandwiches on bread or biscuits!

Tips and Tricks:

Make sure to remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and thicken.
If your ham comes with the skin still on, remove it before baking.
If you're in a rush, you can skip the diamond-shaped cuts on the surface of the ham. However, they do help the glaze to better penetrate the meat and make for a more flavorful dish.
Leftover ham can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It's great for sandwiches, omelets, and more!
