Description
A delicious glazed ham recipe perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7–10 pounds precooked ham (see notes about type of ham)
- ⅓ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
- Remove ham from the refrigerator for 1 hour before baking and let sit on the counter.
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of a large roasting pan that is fitted with a rack and set aside.
- Prepare the ham glaze by combining pineapple juice, apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, horseradish, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice together in a heavy-bottomed small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, whisking often, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Remove the glaze from the heat.
- Unwrap the ham and discard the packaging and any plastic caps or inserts that are sometimes found in a bone-in ham. Place the ham on heavy-duty foil, folding up the sides to form a ‘bowl’ around the ham. If your ham is sliced, gently loosen the slices apart to allow the glaze to drip down in between the slices. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham.
- If using, insert the probe of an oven-safe digital thermometer into the middle of the ham (the thickest part). Tightly wrap the foil around the ham to cover. Place the wrapped ham on the prepared roasting pan.
- Bake ham until an internal temperature of 142℉ is reached. Plan on 10-12 minutes per pound for sliced ham, 15-18 minutes per pound for unsliced and bone-in, and 20-22 minutes per pound for unsliced boneless hams.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let rest (still wrapped in foil) for at least 10 minutes, so it reaches 145℉. Carefully unwrap the foil, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Use a bone-in ham for the best flavor and moisture.
- Adjust the cook time according to the weight of the ham.
