Baked ham with roasted apples adds an impressive meaty, sweet, slightly acidic, punchy note from spicy brown mustard and piney flavor from fresh rosemary to your holiday table.

Mustard and Rosemary Baked Ham Recipe

bone-in ham, around 8 lbs. (We went with a spiral-sliced ham.)

water

apple cider vinegar

spicy brown mustard

rosemary

Tbsp. honey

black pepper

apples,

Preheat your oven to 325ºF. Place your soaked (see Tips section) and dried ham half cut side down in a baking dish or roasting pan so the fat cap side is facing up. Use a knife to score the fat cap in a checkered pattern.

Pour the water into the pan and cover the pan tightly with foil. Place the ham in the oven for approximately 40-45 minutes.

While the ham is roasting, combine the apple cider vinegar, mustard, rosemary, honey, garlic, black pepper, and cloves.

Remove the ham from the oven. Rub about 2/3 of the mustard sauce all over the ham. You can also insert pieces of garlic clove in some of the cuts.

Insert a meat thermometer probe into the center of the ham and set the desired temperature for 140ºF. Arrange the sliced apples all around the ham and toss the slices in any accumulated juices on the bottom of the pan.

Cover the ham again for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and baste the ham in the pan juices and give the apple slices a toss.

Coat the ham in the remaining sauce. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees and roast until the internal temperature is reached and the outside is browned and bubbly. You can baste the ham a few times during the last roast if you’d like.

Remove the ham from the oven and plate the ham slices with some of the apples and pan sauce. Serve with your favorite holiday sides, like roasted carrots and Brussels sprouts.

Glazed Honey Ham

lb ham ((ready-to-eat, pre-cooked ham))

butter ((melted))

preheat

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a roasting pan with a rack. For easy cleanup, line your roasting pan with aluminum foil. *The baked-in honey glaze is extremely sticky!

score

(Optional) If desired, score the ham in a diamond pattern and place cloves onto the ham.

In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, melt the butter then add the brown sugar and honey. Mix until well combined. Heat in 15 second increments if needed to make the mix more liquid and melt the sugar.

glaze

Place ham into your roasting pan and pour the honey glaze over the ham. Use a basting brush to coat the entire ham surface as needed.

bake

Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50 minutes to an hour. Baste the ham with glaze in 15 minute intervals, making sure that you close the oven door to retain heat. If desired, broil for the last 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze before removing from the oven.

rest

Remove your ham from the oven when it reaches 135°F (57°C) and cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil. Allow the ham to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Pomegranate Maple Glazed Ham

lb. fulled cooked spiral bone-in ham

Tightly wrap the entire ham with tin foil and place on a rack, fat side down, in a roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with 2-3 cups of water.

Bake on middle rack of oven for 1 1/2 hours or until internal temperature is 120°F.

In the meantime, to a small sauce pan add pomegranate juice, maple syrup, coconut sugar, dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, ground clove and ground allspice. Whisk together and bring to a slow boil, stirring throughout. Once sauce has thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove ham from oven and open the top part of the tin foil so ham is exposed. Liberally apply pomegranate maple glaze to the ham. (I use about half) Return ham the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 30 minutes.

A fully cooked spiral cut ham slow cooked on LOW in a maple syrup, brown sugar and butter glaze, finished under the broiler for a sticky caramelized top and served with a thick sauce made from the juices.

Crockpot Maple Brown Sugar Holiday Ham

tbsp butter

pineapple juice

Dijon mustard

tsp ground cinnamon

Set the ham cut side down in a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker. Trim it a little if the lid will not close.

Simmer the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, pineapple juice, Dijon, cinnamon and cloves 5 minutes until glossy.

Pour two thirds of the glaze over the ham, working some between the slices. Keep the rest.

Cover and cook on LOW 3 to 4 hours, basting once or twice, until the center reaches 140°F.

Pour 1 cup of the juices into a pan with the cornstarch mix and simmer 2 minutes until syrupy.

For a crusted top, brush the ham with the saved glaze and broil 3 to 4 minutes in a baking dish, watching closely. Serve with the thick sauce.
