Ham
  • 1 fully cooked bone-in spiral ham 8–10 pounds
Brown Sugar Honey Glaze
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Step 1
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2
  1. Place the spiral ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan. Cover loosely with foil.
Step 3
  1. Bake for about 1½ hours, or until warmed through (about 10–12 minutes per pound).
Step 4
  1. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, honey, butter, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, cloves, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 5
  1. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the glaze becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 6
  1. Remove the foil from the ham.
  2. Brush a generous layer of glaze over the entire ham, making sure it gets between the slices.
Step 7
  1. Return the ham to the oven uncovered for 30–40 minutes, brushing with more glaze every 10 minutes.
Step 8
  1. For a glossy caramelized finish, broil for the final 2–3 minutes, watching carefully.
Step 9
  1. Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before serving.
  2. Brush with any remaining glaze and garnish with rosemary, thyme, orange slices, and cranberries if desired.
