Honey Baked Ham

Ingredients

• 1 spiral ham (8-10 lbs)

Glaze

• 1 cup honey
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup butter melted
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves or to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
2. Remove the packaging and the plastic disk from the bottom of the ham. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut side down.
3. Bake for 13-16 minutes per pound until ham reaches 135°F.
4. Combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
5. Once the ham reaches 135°F, remove ham from the oven. Turn the oven up to 425°F. Brush the ham generously with the honey glaze. (I do 2-3 coats of glaze).
6. Return to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until ham reaches 140°F and glaze is browned.
7. Remove the ham from the oven and rest at least 15 minutes before cutting. Spoon juices over the ham before serving if desired.
