Categories     main-dish

Time 3h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 10-pound bone-in smoked ham (with water added)
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup clover honey

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
  • Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)

With just three ingredients, you can make Trisha Yearwood's Baked Ham with Brown Sugar Honey Glaze recipe from Trisha's Southern Kitchen on Food Network.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h25m

Yield 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

18 to 20-pound smoked ham, water added, ham hock removed
One 16-ounce box light brown sugar
1 cup (8-ounce jar) clover honey

Steps:

  • Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover the pan with the lid and bake for half the estimated cooking time (Total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound.) Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the sugar and honey to a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until smooth and sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham and continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster.
  • Check for doneness at the end of the estimated cooking time by inserting a meat thermometer at a meaty point (not into fat or touching the bone). It should register 160 degrees F.
  • Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set.

Tips:

  • Use a bone-in ham for more flavor. The bone adds moisture and richness to the meat.
  • Score the ham before baking. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
  • Use a mixture of honey and brown sugar for the glaze. This will give the ham a sweet and savory flavor.
  • Baste the ham with the glaze several times during baking. This will help keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender.

Conclusion:

Honey and brown sugar crusted ham is a delicious and easy-to-make main course. It's perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. The sweet and savory glaze is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious ham recipe, give this one a try.
