The Perfect Glazed Ham Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 (8-pound) fully cooked, bone-in ham
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Remove the ham from its packaging and place it in a large roasting pan.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and pineapple juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
4. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the ham in a diamond pattern.
5. Insert the whole cloves into the center of each diamond.
6. Place the cinnamon stick on top of the ham.
7. Brush the glaze over the entire ham, making sure to get into the crevices.
8. Sprinkle the ground nutmeg over the ham.
9. Cover the roasting pan with foil and bake for 2 hours, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
10. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting the ham with the glaze every 10 minutes.
11. Once done, let the ham rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.

Tips and Tricks:

• For a smokier flavor, use a smoked ham instead of a regular one.
• If you don't have pineapple juice, you can use orange juice or apple juice instead.
• For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
• Leftover glazed ham makes for delicious sandwiches the next day.
