Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-10 pound spiral-cut ham (bone-in or boneless)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves optional
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice optional

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Ham:
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the spiral-cut ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan. If desired, add a bit of water or pineapple juice to the bottom of the pan to keep the ham moist while cooking.
  3. Make the Glaze:
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves (if using). Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Glaze the Ham:
  6. Brush the ham generously with half of the prepared glaze. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out.
  7. Bake the Ham:
  8. Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the remaining glaze during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  9. Serve the Ham:
  10. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. The spiral cuts make it easy to pull apart slices. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
