Ingredients
- 1 (5-6 lb) bone-in ham
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well to create a glaze.
Step 3
Place the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up. Use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.
Step 4
Pour the glaze over the ham, using a brush or spoon to evenly coat the surface of the ham and work the glaze into the scored diamonds.
Step 5
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C). Check the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham, avoiding the bone.
Step 7
Every 30 minutes or so, remove the foil and use a spoon or baster to baste the ham with the glaze and any juices that have accumulated in the roasting pan.
Step 8
Once the ham is fully cooked and glazed, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve the baked honey ham with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicious baked honey ham!
