Ham time! But let’s be honest, store-bought hams can be dry, flavorless disappointments.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8-10 pound bone-in cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened or melted)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Spices: cinnamon, cloves
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Trim fat from ham and score surface with a diamond pattern.
  2. Place ham on a foil-lined baking sheet with 1/3 cup water. Cover and bake 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, make glaze: melt butter, whisk in brown sugar, honey, mustard, spices, and garlic. Simmer until sugar dissolves. Let cool slightly.
  4. Increase oven temp to 425°F (220°C). Remove ham, discard foil, and brush with 1/3 of glaze. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  5. Repeat basting with glaze and pan juices every 15 minutes until golden brown (about 30 minutes total). Broil for a few minutes if needed for extra browning.
  6. Let ham rest 10-20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Thin glaze between basting with pan juices if it thickens.
  • Adjust cooking time based on ham size.
