1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves

HONEY BAKED HAM RECIPE



Honey Baked Ham Recipe image

This easy Honey Baked Ham Recipe is the best holiday ham you'll ever have. It is super juicy and tender, with a delish caramelized and sticky glaze. It's pure FOODPORN, too!

Provided by Denise Browning

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 pound bone-in spiral cut ham (fully cooked (8-10 pound ham))
1 cup honey
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 TBSP allspice
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground mustard

Steps:

  • Let the ham sit at room temp for 1-2 hours before baking. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Place the oven rack on the lowest level -- so that the center of the ham will be level with the center of the oven while baking, ensuring even cooking/reheating.
  • Add 1 cup water to the roasting pan. Remove disc from the ham. Place ham face down so that all the juices can baste the ham all over. If you have a rack, place the ham on it, but if you don't, skip this step. Tent ham with foil to secure moisture.
  • Bake for about 2-1/2 hours (or 15 minutes per pound). About 30-45 minutes before it is fully reheated, take the ham out of the oven and baste with pan drippings.
  • Make the ham glaze: Whisk honey, brown sugar, and spices in a microwave-safe bowl until combined. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and cook again for 30 seconds more. Brush half of the honey mixture all over the ham, including in between the slices, so that mixture can reach the middle of the ham.
  • Return ham to the oven, uncovered, bake for the remaining time left (30-45 minutes). Insert a instant-read thermometer into the thickiest part of the ham but not touching the bone. The ham is ready when it reads 135 F. Brush ham again with remaining glaze and serve ham with pan drippings.

GRANDMAG'S BAKED CHRISTMAS HAM



Grandmag's Baked Christmas Ham image

We always have a huge smoked ham at Christmas. When my children were little I never slept Christmas Eve night, I always stayed up and cooked the Christmas ham, and waited on Santa. My GrannyN use to cook hers this way, the only thing I changed is I don't pre-bake the ham in brown paper bags like she did. Cook times vary from the size of the ham used. Our ham at Christmas is usually 25-30 pounds. Check the package wrap for suggested cook times for the pound ham that you purchased. My final cook times are approximate, it depends on the thermometer readings. I have also posted a great recipe for leftover ham.

Provided by GrandmaG

Categories     Ham

Time 5h

Yield 1 Ham

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 -30 lbs whole smoked ham
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple slices, set aside the liquid (if you have a smaller ham use the 4 ounce can)
8 maraschino cherries, whole, set aside 2 teaspoons liquid (I use the red and the green colored ones)
2 (16 ounce) boxes brown sugar (I use dark brown sugar)
1 (1 ounce) jar whole cloves
1 cup honey
wooden toothpick

Steps:

  • Wash ham throughly.
  • Cut diagional criss crossed lines one inch apart, one inch deep.
  • When you are finished the cut lines should look diamond shape.
  • This has to be done all around the whole ham.
  • Insert whole clove in each crossed section.
  • Try to push the clove down at least an inch into the meat.
  • Bake one hour covered, in very deep baking pan, at 275 degrees.
  • This is where my GrannyN would have the ham in a paper bag.
  • Drain off fat.
  • Bake another hour covered at 275 degrees.
  • Drain off fat.
  • Let ham sit uncovered while you warm the honey.
  • Pour honey over the ham, and cook uncovered for an hour at 300 degrees.
  • Remove from oven and drain.
  • Let sit until cool to touch, about 30 minutes.
  • The ham top should be a little sticky.
  • If not it's ok.
  • When cool, using your hands, pack brown sugar all over the top and sides of ham.
  • Pushing the sugar in the cut slices.
  • Push tooth picks through the cherries.
  • Place pineapple rings on top of ham using toothpick with cherries to hold in place.
  • Insert meat thermometer.
  • Mix together pineapple juice and cherry juice.
  • Divide.
  • Pour half of mixture in bottom of pan.
  • Cover, and bake for 2 hours at 350 degrees.
  • Check doneness.
  • Usually at this point the ham is usually done.
  • Last 30 minutes, Uncover and pour remainder of pineapple juice on top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and bone-in. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the ideal temperature for baking ham.
  • Score the ham. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
  • Make the glaze. There are many different recipes for honey baked ham glaze. You can use a simple glaze made with honey, brown sugar, and spices, or you can try a more complex glaze that includes fruits, nuts, or herbs.
  • Baste the ham. Basting the ham with glaze will help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Bake the ham for 20 minutes per pound. This is a general guideline; the actual cooking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the ham.
  • Let the ham rest. Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the ham.

Conclusion:

Honey baked ham is a classic holiday dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a delicious honey baked ham that your family and friends will love.
