Glazed Honey Baked Ham
Easy, elegant and delicious. This glaze takes ham to a whole new level!
Ingredients
- 1 7 1/2 lb. Ham
- 1/2 cup Honey
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. Key Lime juice Or use freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice.
- 2 Tbsp. Pineapple Juice
- 1 tsp. Ground cloves
- 1 tsp. Ground Ginger
- 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- Whole cloves for studding the ham.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Score exterior of ham by slicing through the skin being careful not to cut into the meat. Make diagonal slices in opposite directions to create a diamond pattern. Using about 15 whole cloves, push the cloves into the cuts you have just made.
- Mix all glaze ingredients together in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, lighten it with a bit more Pineapple juice.
- Brush 1/2 of the glaze over the uncooked ham. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Baste the ham every 15 minutes with the pan drippings.
- Remove the foil and pour the last half of the Honey Glaze over the ham. Using a pastry brush, push the glaze into every nook and cranny of the ham.
- Bake for another 45 minutes.
- Remove ham from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
- Serve with the pan drippings.
