Orange & Honey Glazed Ham

1 fully cooked bone-in ham (spiral sliced or unsliced ok)
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/3 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup honey
1/2 orange, juiced and zested
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves minced garlic

  1. Cook ham according to package directions or at 250 degrees for 15-20 minutes per pound in a roasting pan.
  2. Combine other ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil then simmer on low for 10 minutes. Be careful as this mixture boils over easily if the heat is too high.
  3. When the ham is about 45 minutes from being done, start glazing with the mixture. Use a good brush so that you don't leave any hairs, and brush on mixture about every 10 minutes.
The glaze leaves a beautiful shine on the ham and is quite sweet. It really gets all over a spiral sliced ham, which can be an advantage if you like sweet.

This recipe takes a bit more effort than most of my recipes, but it's well worth it.
