Ingredients

  • 1 (8-10 pound) fully cooked bone-in spiral sliced ham
  • 1 cup honey
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a roasting pan with foil or a roasting pan liner. Place ham in prepared pan. Set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine all remaining ingredients. Heat over medium-low until sugar is just dissolved. You do not need to bring it to a boil.
  3. Baste ham with about one-third of the honey mixture. Be sure to get in between all the slices.
  4. Cover and bake for 5 hours, basting a second time halfway through using half of the remaining honey mixture. Check the temperature often. When the ham reaches 140 degrees F, it is ready.
  5. Remove ham from the oven and set the oven to broil. While the oven is getting to temperature, baste ham one last time using the remaining mixture. Be sure to get a nice even coating over the top.
  6. Place ham, uncovered, back in the oven. Watch it closely! When the glaze starts to caramelize and bubble up, remove the ham from the oven. Allow ham to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Save yourself some cleanup time and line your roasting pan. That glorious honey and brown sugar mixture is delicious but it makes a sticky mess! If you line your pan, then all you have to do is toss the liner out afterward. 
  • Use a heavy-duty roasting pan if you can. We love the Magnalite roasting pan. Cover the ham with foil or a lid when cooking. You want to keep all those juices in the ham.
  • When basting, use a silicone basting brush. The honey mixture is sticky, and you don't want little stringy fibers getting into your baste wit other types of brushes.
