Ingredients:
For the ham:
1 fully cooked bone-in ham (10-12 pounds)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Prep the ham:
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Remove the ham from its packaging and place it in a roasting pan with the bone facing down. Score the fat in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut too deep. This will allow the glaze to seep into the ham and create a beautiful caramelized crust.
2. Make the glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and cook over medium heat until the honey is melted and the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
3. Glaze the ham:
Using a pastry brush, generously brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get in between the scored lines. Reserve some of the glaze for basting later on.
4. Bake the ham:
Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting every 30 minutes with the reserved glaze. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F.
5. Let it rest:
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make for a tender and juicy ham.
6. Serve and enjoy:
Garnish your ham with fresh herbs, citrus slices, or any other festive decorations you desire. Serve it hot and watch as your guests devour every last bite.
With this hot Christmas ham recipe, you'll have a show-stopping main course that will leave your guests wanting more. So go ahead and add this mouth-watering dish to your holiday menu and make some delicious memories with your loved ones. Merry Christmas and happy cooking!
