Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 spiral ham any size

For the glaze:

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange or pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F(165°C).
  • Bake the ham, covered with foil, for 12-15 minutes per pound.
  • When there are 20 minutes remaining, glaze the ham by brushing it with the sauce using a pastry brush. Return it to the oven, uncovered for the final 20 minutes.
  • I like to take it out at 135°F(55°C) so it doesn’t overcook. Carryover cooking will bring it up to 140°F(60°C).

Notes

  • Allow the spiral ham to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking throughout.
  • If your ham doesn't come pre-scored, make shallow cuts in a diamond pattern on the fat side. This helps the glaze penetrate and gives the ham an appealing look.
  • Allow the ham to rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This keeps the juices retained, ensuring each slice is juicy and flavorful.
