Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 4½ lb boneless fully cooked ham, at room temperature 1 hour prior to baking
  • ¼ cup cider vinegar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce 

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Score fat on top of the ham in a crosshatch pattern.
  3. Put the ham on a rack in a large roasting pan.
  4. Cover ham with parchment paper, then cover the roasting pan with foil tightly.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes per pound or per your ham's instructions.
  6. Melt the butter with fresh thyme, then set aside to allow flavors to mingle.
  7. Meanwhile, boil the cider vinegar in a small saucepan until reduced to 1 tablespoon.
  8. Remove from heat and whisk in honey, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme butter.
  9. Let the honey glaze stand until the ham has baked.
  10. Discard foil and parchment paper from ham.
  11. If there is no liquid in the roasting pan, add 1 cup of water (the liquid will prevent the glaze from burning in the pan and will become a delicious pan sauce).
  12. Brush ham with half of the honey glaze, then bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  13. Brush with the remaining glaze and bake until the glaze is deep golden-brown and the ham is heated through, about 30 minutes more.
  14. Remove from the oven and place the ham on a cutting board. Let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before carving.
  15. Pour the liquid from the roasting pan into a bowl. Serve on the side to spoon over slices of ham, if desired. Enjoy.
