A festive and savory-sweet Orange-Glazed Easter Ham perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 whole spiral-cut ham about 8-10 pounds
- 1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed preferred
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon orange zest freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and place the ham in a roasting pan.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, orange zest, and ground cloves.
- Cook the glaze mixture until the sugar dissolves and it becomes slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Brush half of the glaze over the ham, making sure to cover it evenly.
- Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until heated through, basting occasionally with the remaining glaze.
- Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
