Ingredients

Scale

Ham:

8–10 pound spiral ham (Palmer’s sells a tasty Leidy’s Spiral Ham)

Glaze:

1 cup light or dark brown sugar, packed

½ cup honey

½ cup orange juice

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

1. Prepare Ham: Remove the ham from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

2. Make Glaze: In a medium saucepan, whisk together all the glaze ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly.

3. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F.

4. Prepare Ham for Baking: Unwrap the ham and place it in a large roasting pan, cut side down. Brush half of the glaze over the ham and wrap it tightly with foil.

5. Bake Ham: Bake for 12-15 minutes per pound or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

6. Glaze and Continue Cooking: Remove the ham from the oven and remove the foil. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham, making sure to get in between the slices. (Tip: If the glaze hardens, return to heat to loosen.) Return the ham to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes.

7. Rest and Serve: Remove the ham from the oven and loosely wrap with foil. Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

Notes

Room Temperature Ham: Ensure the ham is at room temperature before cooking to promote even heating.

Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for safe consumption.

Pairing Suggestion: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and a fresh green salad to complement the rich flavors of the ham.
