15+ Recipe Easter Ham Glaze Dive Into Deliciousness!

Ingredients:

For the glaze:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the ham:

• 1 spiral-cut ham (about 8-10 pounds)
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine all the glaze ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze has thickened slightly. Set aside.
3. In a large roasting pan, place the spiral-cut ham and pour the pineapple juice and water over it. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour.
4. In the meantime, prepare the glaze by whisking together the orange juice, honey, brown sugar, mustard, cloves, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
5. After 1 hour, remove the foil from the ham and brush the glaze over the entire surface. Return the ham to the oven and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10-15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F.
6. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
