An easy Baked Honey Glazed Ham recipe is perfect to make for any holiday dinner celebration, but is also delicious for a simple Sunday dinner with the family!
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 - 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 - 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 15-18 minutes per pound at 325˚FMake sure the brown sugar is fully dissolved and keep warm to glaze.Check internal temperature of the ham frequently and remove once it reaches 130°F. It will raise to the required 140°F degrees when it rests.
