Ingredients
- 8-10 pounds ham bone-in, fully cooked, spiral-cut
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup orange juice fresh
- 1/2 cup mustard spicy, whole-grained
- 1/2 cup dark molasses
- 3 Tablespoons horseradish drained, prepared
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Remove ham from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours in advance. This helps the ham heat up more evenly without drying out and is a common approach to cooking larger pieces of meat. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Make the brown sugar glaze by whisking together the brown sugar, orange juice, whole-grained mustard, molasses, horseradish, cayenne pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and garlic powder in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes until the brown sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- Brush ham with brown sugar glaze using a pastry brush. Place the ham flat side down (face down) in a large pan or roasting rack and cover completely with foil.
- Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and baste the ham with the juices from the pan and brush with 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
- Cover the ham with foil again and bake another 30 minutes. Remove the foil and baste the ham with it's own juices and glaze again with another 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
- Uncover ham and bake 20-30 minutes more, until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. Remove ham from oven and baste and brush with the remaining 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
- Loosely cover with foil and let rest for 15-30 minutes for the juices to redistribute throughout the ham.
