Ingredients

• 8 pounds Bone-in spiral-cut ham
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and prepare a roasting pan with a rack.

Step 2

Place the ham, cut side down, on the rack in the roasting pan. If the ham comes with a liquid glaze packet, discard it or save it for a high-carb use.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add brown sugar substitute, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, garlic powder, and orange zest to the butter.

Step 5

Stir the mixture continuously until the sweetener is dissolved and the glaze has thickened slightly. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the glaze from heat, and pour about half of it evenly over the ham, brushing it to coat evenly between the slices.

Step 7

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil, ensuring the cover is tented so it doesn't touch the glaze.

Step 8

Bake the ham in the preheated oven until warmed through, about 1.5 hours (or roughly 10 minutes per pound).

Step 9

Baste the ham with the cooked glaze every 30 minutes to ensure flavors penetrate the meat.

Step 10

In the last 15 minutes of baking, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C), and apply the remaining glaze over the ham.

Step 11

Remove the foil and add the rosemary sprigs on top of the ham.

Step 12

Bake for an additional 15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized, and the rosemary releases its aroma.

Step 13

After removing the ham from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.

Step 14

Slice and serve your Low Carb Delicious Glazed Ham, garnished with the rosemary.
