Ingredients
- 5 pounds large hickory smoked ham
- ¾ cup honey runny, warmed if needed
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ⅓ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice from 1 ½-2
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan whisk together the honey, brown sugar, mustard, orange juice, herbs, coriander, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low and simmer for 6-8 minutes while you proceed with the next step.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the ham in a large roasting pan. Pour the glaze mixture over the ham being sure to cover as much of the ham surface as possible.
- Loosely tent with foil and bake for 60 minutes in preheated oven.
- Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees. Remove foil tent and brush the ham with sauce from the bottom of the pan.
- Return ham to the oven (uncovered) and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting the ham with more sauce every 10-15 minutes or so.
- Remove the ham from the oven and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving (this is important to keep your ham moist and not dried out!) Serve any additional sauce from the pan alongside the warm ham. Enjoy!

Notes
- The mustard: For more of a kick, American or English mustard can be substituted for the Dijon. Wholegrain mustard would work well with the honey flavor too!
- The orange juice: In a pinch, bottled orange juice can be substituted for fresh.
- The herbs: I definitely prefer fresh herbs if you can get some, but in a pinch you can substitute 1 teaspoon dried herbs (I love the flavor blend of Herbs de Provence and keep it on hand always!).
- The glaze: This glaze recipe can be used on all types of holiday ham; simply scale the amount up or down per pound of ham.
