Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- 1 (10-12 pound) bone-in or boneless fully cooked spiral ham
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
Instructions
- Take the ham out of the refrigerator and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the glaze by heating the butter, honey, brown sugar, and spices in a medium saucepan on medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the glaze starts to thicken. Remove from the heat and allow the glaze to slightly cool.
- Place the ham in the middle of the baking dish or roasting pan cut side down. Brush half of the glaze on top and get in all the crevices! Cover the ham completely with foil so the ham doesn't dry out.
- Bake the ham according to how many pounds you have, about 15 minutes per pound. My ham took about 1 ½ hours.
- Once the ham is warmed through, remove the foil to caramelize the top. Brush additional glaze on top of the ham. Save some for serving if you would like! Adjust the heat to broil and let the glaze caramelize and darken for about 3-5 minutes. Watch it closely!
- Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing!
