Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
Description
The recipe focuses on a fully cooked bone-in spiral ham, which is rinsed and dried, then wrapped in foil for even cooking and moisture retention. The glaze, a mixture of brown sugar, orange juice, honey, and warming spices like cinnamon and cloves, is cooked just until it boils and thickens slightly. Pouring the glaze over the ham before baking allows it to soak into the cut slices and form a sticky, sweet coating.
The ham is baked at 350°F, with the cooking time adjusted by weight to ensure thorough heating without drying out. The glaze contributes a balance of sweetness and spice that complements the ham’s richness, making it suitable for holiday meals or special occasions.
Cooking times should be extended by 15 minutes per pound for larger hams beyond 6 pounds. Wrapping in foil helps maintain juiciness during the long bake.
Ingredients
- 1 ham 6-10 pounds, bone-in, spiral cut
- 1 cup brown sugar , packed
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and add a roasting rack to a large roasting pan.
- Rinse the ham and pat it dry and place it in a large piece of foil to wrap it closed.
- Bring the glaze ingredients to a boil together on medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over each slice of ham. Wrap the ham tightly and bake for 90 minutes.
Notes
- Cooking time is based on a 6-pound ham; add 15 minutes per pound for larger hams.
- Wrapping the ham tightly in foil helps retain moisture while baking.
