Brown Sugar Ham (Baked Ham Glaze)

This dish features a succulent ham coated with a sweet, caramelized glaze, resulting in a mouthwatering flavor that pairs perfectly with any side dish.

Brown Sugar Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze

Ingredients:

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Place the ham on a roasting pan, cut side down. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/8 inch deep. This allows the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth.
  4. Brush a generous amount of the glaze all over the ham, making sure to fill in the diamond cuts. Reserve some glaze for basting later.
  5. Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes per pound. During the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and baste the ham with the reserved glaze. This will help achieve a beautiful, caramelized finish.
  6. Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and moist.
  7. Slice the ham and serve it on a platter with your favorite sides. Enjoy the sweet and savory flavors that will have everyone raving!

This Brown Sugar Ham is not just a meal; it’s an experience that brings friends and family together. Perfect for holidays or special gatherings, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. Give it a try and savor the delightful tastes!
