Honey Baked Ham Recipe (5 Ingredients)
This homemade Honey Baked Ham has the most delicious sauce! It is a saucy au jus, rather than a gravy. See notes if you want a thick sauce. Spoon plenty of it over the slices of ham, and watch it disappear!

- Place ham in a 13x9 baking dish. Coat ham with a generous amount of sauce. Bake for 60-70 minutes, basting thoroughly every 15 minutes.
- To serve pre-cut slices of ham, arrange slices neatly on a serving dish and brush more sauce all over ham slices. Serve with leftover sauce (see note).If serving ham whole, be sure to have sauce available for drizzling. The sauce is what makes this ham so great!

Notes
- We like bone-in, spiral sliced ham best. You can also slice ham yourself and arrange it neatly on a baking dish and proceed with the recipe.
- Honey mustard sauce is more of a saucy au jus consistency, rather than a thicker gravy texture.
- For thicker sauce: Place remaining sauce (sauce that wasn't used during basting) in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. In a small bowl, stir and dissolve 1 TB cornstarch in 2 TB cool water to make a cornstarch slurry. Stir in slurry a little at a time to the boiling sauce, adding only as much as needed until sauce is thickened to your liking.
- This ham is amazing with Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes or Garlic-Butter Potatoes!
