Ingredients

  • 1 spiral ham approx 7-9 pounds
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice or orange juice
Brown Sugar Glaze
  • ½ cup pineapple juice or orange juice
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. Combine dijon mustard and pineapple juice. Brush over ham.
  3. If your ham has a plastic disk on the bone, this should be removed and discarded. Place the ham, flat side down in a roasting pan, and cover tightly with foil. Roast 12-15 minutes per pound (or according to package directions).
  4. Meanwhile, combine glaze ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer 2-3 minutes. Cool.
  5. 15 minutes before ham is done, remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 425°F.
  6. Brush with glaze and return to the oven until the glaze is caramelized and the ham has reached the safe cook temperature.

Notes

  • If you purchase a smoked ham, it has been cooked, be sure to check the package to ensure it says it is "fully cooked". If your ham is fully cooked on the package (as most spiral hams are), it will need to cook to 140°F (basically just to heat it).
