Glazed Baked Ham
Print This Recipe
INGREDIENTS Roasting Time -
15 minutes per pound at 325 degrees. (Internal temperature - 140 degrees)
GLAZE
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
3/4 cup orange juice
Whole cloves
Pineapple slices and/or maraschino cherries, optionalScore top of ham using diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart and about 1 inch into meat. Insert 1 clove into each square (or less if desired).
Place in roasting pan and set in the preheated 325 degree oven. Stir together the brown sugar, mustard, and orange juice. Brush all over the top of the ham. Roast according to the above time, basting with pan juices and additional glaze every 20 minutes. If desired, place pineapple slices with cherries in the center, secured with toothpicks, on top for final hour or so of roasting. Remove from oven; let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
NOTES - You can use a whole or half smoked ham, picnic, whatever you desire for this recipe. I use a fully-cooked, water-added type ham in this recipe. Ready to cook hams, which I use most often, require a little different roasting method (follow label directions). Keep in mind that leftovers are great for sandwiches, ham salad, or breakfast, and, if you use a large enough ham, thick slices can be cut and grilled for another meal.
