Copycat Honey Baked Ham

• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (8–10 pounds)

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the spiral ham cut-side down in a roasting pan or baking dish. Add 1/2 cup water or orange juice to the bottom to keep it juicy. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes per pound, or until warmed through (about 1 hour 20 minutes for an 8-pound ham).

While the ham bakes, combine the sugar, brown sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until smooth and bubbly. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.

Remove the ham from the oven and increase the temperature to 425°F. Brush half of the glaze generously over the ham, getting in between the slices. Return to the oven uncovered for 10–15 minutes to caramelize.

For that signature Honey Baked crunch, brush with the remaining glaze and broil for another 2–3 minutes, watching carefully so it doesn’t burn. Sprinkle on a little extra brown sugar before broiling for extra caramelization!

Let the ham rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. Slice, serve, and watch everyone come back for seconds!
