Ingredients
- 8 lbs bone-in spiral-cut ham
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup orange juice
- 6 slices pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
- None toothpicks (optional, for securing pineapple slices)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2
Place the spiral-cut ham in a roasting pan, flat-side down, and cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
Step 3
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes (approximately 10 minutes per pound of ham).
Step 4
While the ham is baking, make the glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and orange juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, and the glaze thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
Remove the ham from the oven after the initial baking time and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (204°C).
Step 6
Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it seeps between the slices. If using pineapple slices, arrange them on top of the ham and secure with toothpicks.
Step 7
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes, until the ham is caramelized and golden.
Step 8
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful Graciela S Baked Ham!
