A delicious and succulent honey glazed ham perfect for holiday gatherings or a special dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 whole ham preferably bone-in, around 8-10 pounds
- 1/2 cup honey use a mild honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard for added flavor
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves adds warmth and spice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Place the ham in a roasting pan lined with foil.
- In a medium bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, melted butter, and ground cloves to create the glaze.
- Score the surface of the ham by making shallow cuts in a diamond pattern.
- Brush the glaze generously over the ham, ensuring it gets into the scored cuts.
- Cover the ham loosely with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil for the final 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and turn golden brown.
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
