- Total TimeApproximately 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield12 to 16 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked bone-in spiral-sliced ham, 7 to 9 pounds
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Confirm the ham is fully cooked. Heat the oven to 325°F.
- Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan, add the water, and cover tightly with foil.
- Heat for approximately 10 to 12 minutes per pound, checking early, until about 125°F to 130°F internally.
- Combine the honey, brown sugar, butter, Dijon, and cloves in a saucepan. Whisk over medium-low heat until smooth, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the foil and brush half the glaze over and lightly between the slices. Increase the oven to 375°F and bake uncovered for 8 minutes.
- Apply the remaining glaze and bake for 8 to 12 minutes more, until caramelized and 140°F for a plant-packaged USDA-inspected fully cooked ham, or 165°F if repackaged.
- Rest for 15 minutes before separating and serving the slices.
Notes
- This recipe is only for fully cooked ham; follow the package if it says cook before eating.
- Package instructions take priority because ham type and processing vary.
- Keep the ham covered for most of the reheating time to protect the spiral slices.
- Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and reheat them to 165°F.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
