Bake a juicy, flavorful ham with a sweet and tangy glaze perfect for your holiday table.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, and ground cloves.
  3. Heat the glaze mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Brush about one-third of the glaze evenly over the entire surface of the ham.
  5. Bake the ham for 15 minutes per pound, basting with the remaining glaze every 20 minutes.
  6. If the ham begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
  7. The ham is done when an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can insert thin slices of fresh pineapple around the ham before baking.
  • This recipe works well for meal planning; leftovers keep well for several days.
  • If you are looking for alternatives to traditional baking, consider using a sous-vide precision cooker for part of the cooking process before glazing.
