  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Β½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Β½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth

🍽️ Directions

1. Prep the Ham

  1. Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (163Β°C).
  2. Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan or large baking dish.
  3. Pour 1 cup of water or apple juice into the bottom of the pan to keep the ham moist.
  4. Cover the ham tightly with aluminum foil.

2. Warm the Ham

  1. Bake the ham for 10–12 minutes per pound, or about 1.5–2 hours for an 8–10 lb ham.
  2. While the ham warms, prepare the glaze.

3. Make the Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, add:
    • brown sugar
    • honey
    • maple syrup
    • Dijon mustard
    • apple cider vinegar
    • cinnamon
    • cloves
    • garlic powder
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

4. Glaze the Ham

  1. After the ham has warmed through, remove the foil.
  2. Brush a generous portion of glaze all over the ham, letting it seep between the slices.
  3. Return to the oven uncovered.
  4. Bake an additional 15–20 minutes, brushing with more glaze halfway through.
  5. For a caramelized finish, broil on low for 1–2 minutes (keep a close eye!).

5. Serve

  1. Remove ham from oven and let rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Spoon any extra glaze from the pan over the top before serving.
  3. Slice (it should fall apart beautifully) and serve warm.
