Ingredients:
8 lb bone in spiral cut ham
1/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Cooking spray
Fruit and herbs for garnish, optional
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a large baking pan with cooking spray
- Add the butter, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, mustard, cinnamon and nutmeg to a pot. Place the pot over medium heat.
- Bring the pot to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until glaze looks syrupy and has just started to thicken.
- Place the ham in the prepared pan and pour half of the glaze over it. Cover the ham with foil. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use.
- Bake the ham for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and uncover the ham.
- Pour the remaining glaze over the ham. If the glaze has started to harden, you can microwave it for about 30 seconds to loosen it back up.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Place the ham, uncovered, in the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes or until glaze is caramelized and browned.
- Transfer the ham to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs and fruit if desired. Spoon pan drippings over the ham. Slice the ham, then serve and enjoy.
