Ingredients
– 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)
– 1 cup honey
– 1 cup brown sugar

– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup apple cider or orange juice
– Whole cloves (for studding, optional)
Instructions
Creating Honey Glazed Ham can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare the Ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan, cut side down. If desired, score the surface in a diamond pattern, and stud with whole cloves.
3. Make the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, black pepper, and apple cider. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently.
4. Glaze the Ham: Brush the glaze generously over the surface of the ham, reserving some for later.
5. Bake the Ham: Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour.
6. Baste the Ham: Remove the foil and baste the ham with the reserved glaze. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
7. Rest the Ham: Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
8. Slice and Serve: Carefully slice the ham and serve on a platter with additional glaze drizzled over the top.
By following these steps, you’ll create a stunning Honey Glazed Ham that is sure to impress everyone at your table!
