Notes

  • This recipe's cooking time is based on an 8-10 pound spiral-sliced ham. If your ham is larger or smaller, you must adjust the cooking time accordingly. A good rule of thumb is about 10 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F.
  • If you cook a ham that is not spiral sliced, it will take longer. Assume 15 minutes per pound at 325 degrees F, so 2 ½ hours for a 10-pound ham.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to ensure your ham is perfectly cooked. You're looking for a temperature of 130 degrees F before adding the final sugar coating.
  • You can make your own pumpkin spice by combining 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/8 teaspoon allspice or cloves. You can also just substitute cinnamon, although the other spice adds flavor to the ham.
  • Substitute yellow or whole grain mustard if you don’t have Dijon mustard.
