Ingredients
- 8 - 10 lb. bone-in fully cooked spiral-sliced ham
- 1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Garnishes
- Orange slices for the serving platter
- rosemary and thyme sprigs for the serving platter
Instructions
Preheat
- Preheat oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish, or roasting pan.
- Place ham in the baking dish, with the large and flat side down (you can cook it on it's side if you prefer it that way).
Cup of Yum
Make glaze
- In a small saucepan, add brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, orange marmalade and dijon mustard.
- Whisk to combine, and heat over MED heat until simmering. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Set aside, off the heat.
Glaze and first bake
- Spoon about half of the glaze over the top of the ham. Cover loosely with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Baste and second bake
- After 40 minutes, uncover the ham and baste with a bit more of the glaze, recover with the foil, then return to the oven for another 20 minutes.
Baste and final bake
- Uncover the ham and discard the foil. Baste with the rest of the glaze, and return to the oven, uncovered, and bake the final 20 minutes.
Optional broil
- If you'd like extra caramelized edges, feel free to broil for a few minutes to really get the glaze nice and sticky. Just be sure to watch closely so the ham doesn't burn.
Rest and serve
- Allow the ham to rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Baste with some of the juices from the pan if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
- For easier cleanup, feel free to line the bottom and sides of the baking dish/roasting pan with 2 layers of aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- I've estimated this recipe serves about 12, but you're free to divide the 8-10 lb ham up into as many servings as you'd like.
