Description

A tender, juicy bone-in ham glazed with a sweet and savory honey, brown sugar, and citrus sauce—perfect for holiday dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

→ 1 (10-pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
→ 1 ¼ cups packed dark brown sugar
→ ⅓ cup pineapple juice
→ ⅓ cup honey (or more to taste)
→ ⅓ large orange (juice)
→ 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
→ ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
→ 1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice (optional, to taste)

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Score the surface of the ham in a criss-cross pattern and stud with cloves, if desired.
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the ham on a roasting pan and brush generously with the glaze. Cover loosely with foil.
Roast for 1.5–2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the glaze.
During the last 20 minutes of roasting, remove the foil to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Drizzle with extra glaze before serving.

Notes

Allow the ham to rest after roasting to ensure juicy slices.

For extra tang, add a little lemon juice to the glaze.

For a richer flavor, substitute pineapple juice with apple cider.
