Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked ham (about 8–10 pounds)
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.
- In a bowl, mix together honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and apple cider vinegar.
- Brush the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored areas.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the remaining glaze.
- Remove the foil for the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Leftover ham can be used in sandwiches or soups.
- Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (internal temperature should reach 140°F).
