Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in spiral-sliced ham 8-10 lb
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F
  • Place the ham cut side down in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil

  • Bake for about 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F

  • During the last 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil and generously brush the ham with the honey glaze, making sure to get it between the slices
