This honey baked ham copycat recipe is tender and juicy with a delicious honey glaze.

Ingredients

  • 1 spiral ham

    8-10 pounds, fully cooked

  • 1 cup honey
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

    optional

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
    or to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  2. 2

    Remove the packaging and plastic disk from the bottom of the ham and discard. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut side down, and cover the ham and pan with foil.

  3. 3

    Bake for 12 to 16 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F.

  4. 4

    While the ham is baking, in a small bowl combine honey, butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and cloves. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Once the ham reaches 135°F, remove it from the oven. Turn the oven up to 425°F. Brush the ham generously with the honey glaze, I recommend 2 to 3 coats of glaze.

  6. 6

    Return to the oven and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until ham reaches 140°F and the glaze is browned.

  7. 7

    Remove the ham from the oven and rest at least 15 minutes before cutting. Spoon juices over the ham before serving if desired.
