Ingredients
Scale
Ham
- 8 pound bone-in spiral-cut half ham smoked or uncured
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- ½ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F to prepare for slow baking the ham.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 cup pure maple syrup, and ½ cup Dijon mustard until fully combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Prepare Ham: Line a deep pan with parchment paper. Unwrap the 8 pound ham and place it flat-side down in the pan. Rub 2 tablespoons brown sugar all over the top and sides of the ham.
- Bake Ham: Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake the ham for 15 minutes per pound, totaling about 2 hours for the 8-pound ham, until heated through.
- Broil with Glaze: Remove the ham from the oven and discard the foil. Set the oven to broil and pour the prepared glaze evenly over the ham. Return the ham uncovered to the oven for 5 to 8 minutes, watching carefully to caramelize the glaze without burning it.
- Serve: Once caramelized, remove the ham from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Choose a smoked or uncured bone-in spiral ham for best flavor and ease of slicing.
- Line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Watch closely during broiling to avoid burning the glaze.
- The baking time is calculated based on 15 minutes per pound to ensure the ham is heated fully without drying out.
- Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
