Description
A sweet and savory Maple Glazed Ham that’s perfect for any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a roasting pan with foil and set aside.
- Remove the ham from packaging and pat dry. Score the surface in a diamond pattern.
- In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, ground cloves, and black pepper. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Place the ham in the prepared pan. Brush generously with half of the glaze. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil, brush with remaining glaze, and bake uncovered for an additional 45-60 minutes, basting every 20 minutes until the ham is caramelized and heated through.
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished as desired.
Notes
Score the ham well for better glaze penetration and consider adding pineapples or cherries for decoration.
