  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat oven to 325°F
  2. Remove ham from packaging. If there are any liquids, reserve add it and add to the roasting pan.
  3. Place the ham cut side down in a shallow roasting pan and for a spiral ham as shown and cook uncovered.
  4. Whisk cider vinegar, syrup, brown sugar, mustard and spices together in a small small saucepan.
  5. Over medium heat stir until the sugar has dissolved. 
  6. When the internal temperature reaches 120°F spoon or brush the ham with the prepared glaze.

Notes

  • Cooked Hams re-heat to an internal temperature of 140°F (60 °C) 
  • Cook raw fresh ham and ready-to-eat ham to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F (62.8 °C) 
  • If the ham is larger than 8 pounds cover loosely with foil half way through roasting to prevent it from drying.
  • The internal temperature can rise up to 10-15°F while the ham is resting.
