Ingredients

• 8 lbs bone-in spiral-cut ham
• 2 cups apple cider
• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp ground cloves
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Place the ham cut side down in a large roasting pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 3

Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes (or about 10-12 minutes per pound), until it is heated through.

Step 4

While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the apple cider, honey, brown sugar, unsalted butter, Dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Reduce the heat and let the glaze simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Remove the ham from the oven and discard the aluminum foil. Brush a generous amount of the cider-honey glaze over the surface of the ham.

Step 7

Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with more glaze every 10 minutes, until the ham is caramelized and glossy.

Step 8

Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with any remaining glaze drizzled over the slices, and enjoy your Cider Glazed Honey Baked Ham!
