Spiral Ham

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Place the spiral ham cut side down in a large roasting pan lined with foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, cloves, and melted butter. Let it get to a slow boil, then turn down the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 3

Brush half of the glaze over the ham, covering it evenly. Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake on the lowest rack in the oven, for 10-12 minutes per pound, about 1 1/2 -2 hours, until warmed through.

Step 4

Remove the foil and brush the remaining glaze over the ham. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake for another 12-15 minutes, uncovered, to allow the glaze to caramelize. Once the ham reaches internal temperature of 140 degrees F, remove from oven.

Step 5

Let the ham rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve.
