Instructions

1. Prep the Ham

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Place ham cut-side down in a roasting pan.
3. Cover loosely with foil.

2. Warm the Ham

Bake for about:

• 10–12 minutes per pound

While the ham bakes, combine in a saucepan:

• honey

• Dijon mustard
• maple syrup
• vinegar or orange juice
• butter
• cinnamon
• cloves
• pepper

Bring to a gentle simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.

4. Glaze the Ham

1. Remove foil during the last 30–40 minutes of baking.
2. Brush ham generously with glaze every 10 minutes.
3. Let the glaze caramelize and darken slightly.

5. Finish

• Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes for extra sticky edges.
• Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

• Orange slices
• Fresh rosemary
• Pineapple rings
• Cherries
• Crushed pecans
