  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x
  • Category: main dish
  • Method: oven-baked
  • Cuisine: american

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1, 9lb Spiral-Sliced Ham
  • 1 cup Water

Ham Glaze

  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 TBS Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • 3/4 cup Orange or Pineapple Juice (whatever you have on hand, or like better!)


Instructions

  1. To the bottom of a roasting pan, place your spiral-cut ham.
  2. Add one cup of water to the bottom of the pan and cover tightly with foil.
  3. Place in a COLD oven, then turn oven to 325 degrees.
  4. Allow the ham to cook covered for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  5. Make the glaze by mixing 1 cup of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of whole grain Dijon mustard, and 3/4 cup of orange or pineapple juice in a small pot on the stove.
  6. Bring the glaze to a boil and let it boil for 3-4 minutes until all the brown sugar is dissolved and the glaze reduces to a sticky consistency.
  7. After an hour and 15 minutes, remove the ham from the oven and take the foil off.
  8. Using a turkey baster, lift the liquid from the bottom of the pan and baste all over the ham.
  9. Pour half of your glaze over the ham slowly, letting it trickle down in between the ham layers.
  10. Baste two more times after 15 minutes back in the oven. (two 15 minute periods in the oven)
  11. During the last 15 minutes, paint the remaining glaze all over the ham, then place it back in the oven. Watch carefully so the glaze doesn’t burn! It will start to bubble up and get crisp!
  12. Remove from the oven, and serve!
