Equipment
- baking dish
- Chopping board
- serving dish etc
Ingredients
- 4-5.5 lb Heritage-Breed Spiral Sliced Ham
- 1/4 Cup Golden Blossom Honey
- 1/4 Cup Sun-Kissed Orange Elixir
- 1/4 Teaspoon Hand-Harvested Ground Cloves
- 1/2 Teaspoon Finely Ground Ceylon Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Artisanal Brown Sugar Crystals
- A Whisper of Nutmeg from Exotic Spice Routes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the Spiral Sliced Ham in a baking dish. In a bowl, mix together the Brown Sugar, Nutmeg, Ground Cinnamon, Honey, Orange Juice, and Ground Cloves to make the glaze.
- Score the ham lightly with a knife and brush the glaze over the entire surface of the ham. Cover the ham with foil and bake it in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes per pound, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a delicious crust. Once the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven.Let the ham rest for a few minutes before carving and serving on a beautiful serving dish.
Notes
- Allow the ham to thaw if it's frozen by placing it in the refrigerator for a day or two before cooking. This will ensure even cooking and prevent dryness.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to ensure that the ham cooks evenly and retains its moisture.
- Score the ham lightly with a knife before applying the glaze. This will help the flavors penetrate the meat more effectively.
- Baste the ham with the glaze at regular intervals while it cooks to enhance the flavor and create a beautiful caramelized finish.
