Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 to 10 pound ham fully cooked, bone in
Honey Glaze
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup honey
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325˚F.
- Score ham, ½ inch deep, in a diamond pattern. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and bake uncovered for 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours.
- Meanwhile, make glaze. In a small saucepan, mix together apple juice, honey, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add, mustard, cinnamon, and cloves and cook for 5 minutes. Reserve half of the honey glaze for serving.
- After 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours, or when ham reaches 130˚F on a digital thermometer, baste with ¼ of the glaze. After 10 minutes, baste again with ¼ of the glaze. Remove from the oven once the ham reaches 135˚F.
- Allow to rest 10 minutes (the temperature will rise to 140˚F). Slice and serve with reserved glaze.
Notes
- Ham will take approximately 15 to 18 minutes per pound at 325˚F
- Make sure the brown sugar is fully dissolved and keep warm to glaze.
- Check internal temperature of the ham frequently and remove it once it reaches 130°F. It will rise to the required 140°F degrees as it rests.
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for 3 months.
