For the Ham:

1 fully cooked spiral ham (8–10 lbs)

1 cup water or apple juice (for the roasting pan)

For the Honey Brown Sugar Glaze:

1 cup brown sugar

½ cup honey

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves (optional)

½ tsp black pepper

1–2 tbsp pineapple juice or orange juice (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions

1. Prep the Ham

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

Place the spiral ham cut-side down in a roasting pan.

Pour water or apple juice into the bottom to keep it moist.

Cover tightly with foil.

2. Warm the Ham

Bake covered for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on size.

(About 10 minutes per pound.)

⇆

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, melted butter, mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and pineapple/orange juice.

Heat on low until smooth and syrupy.

4. Glaze the Ham

Remove foil from the ham.

Brush a thick layer of glaze all over the ham, getting it between the slices.

Return to the oven uncovered.

5. Finish Baking

Bake another 20–30 minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes.

The edges should caramelize and become sticky and glossy.

6. Serve

Let rest 10 minutes, slice, and serve with extra glaze drizzled on top.
