Honey-Glazed Holiday Ham Recipe

American · Main course · 135 min total

A classic holiday centerpiece, this honey-glazed ham is sweet, sticky, and perfectly caramelized, with a simple glaze that enhances the ham's natural flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked bone-in spiral-cut ham
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place ham cut-side down on a rack in a roasting pan. Add 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
3. Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Brush ham generously with glaze, getting between slices. Return ham to oven, uncovered, and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Brush with glaze again and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until glaze is sticky and caramelized. Let rest 15 minutes before carving. Serve remaining glaze on the side.

Tips

• To prevent the glaze from burning, tent the ham with foil if it browns too quickly.
• Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
• For extra flavor, add a splash of orange juice or bourbon to the glaze.
