Glazed Ham
A succulent glazed ham coated in a sweet and savory honey-pineapple glaze, perfect for holidays and gatherings.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 piece fully cooked ham
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, mix in the honey until thoroughly blended.
- Use a basting brush to coat the surface of the ham with the honey-butter mixture.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it tightly with foil. Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, until a meat thermometer reads 140°F (60°C) at the thickest part.
Glazing and Baking
- Meanwhile, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, ground mustard, and ground cloves in a bowl, mixing until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the ham from the oven and discard the foil. Generously brush the glaze over the ham.
- Return the ham to the oven uncovered, baking for an additional 30 minutes while basting with the glaze every 10 minutes.
Serving
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
This glazed ham is versatile and can be served warm or at room temperature. Pair with classic sides like mashed potatoes or a crisp salad. For additional flavor, garnish with fresh herbs.
