The Perfect Easter Ham
Ingredients:
1 8-10 pound fully cooked ham
1 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
Place the ham in a large roasting pan and score the top in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife.
In a small saucepan, mix together the honey, Dijon mustard, orange juice, brown sugar, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Brush the glaze over the scored ham, making sure to get in between the slices.
Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour.
Remove the foil and baste the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes for another hour.
Once the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees F, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
Tips and Tricks:
For an extra flavorful ham, try marinating it in the glaze overnight before baking. You can also swap out the orange juice for pineapple juice for a tropical twist. And don't forget to save the leftover ham for some delicious ham and cheese sliders the next day!
