Save yourself some serious money during the holidays by making your own Honey Baked Ham recipe at home!

Ingredients

  • 8 lb bone-in spiral sliced half ham
  • 2 Tbsp butter

    melted

  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • pinch of allspice

Directions

  1. 1

    Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker.  Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little.  Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.

  2. 2

    At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil.  

  3. 3

    Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl.  Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.

  4. 4

    Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.

  5. 5

    To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture.  Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. A combination of water/ham juice and bourbon is a nice alternative!  Stir, and heat to a boil.  Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful... don't let it burn!).  Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes. 

  7. 7

    Serve warm or cold and enjoy!

About this Recipe

Dreaming of that iconic HoneyBaked Ham for your holiday table but dreading the price tag? This copycat recipe lets you recreate the magic at home, saving you serious money without compromising on flavor. Get ready to elevate your festive meals with a ham that tastes every bit as delicious as the original.

The secret to this recipe lies in its incredibly flavorful spice blend and honey glaze, combining 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar with a symphony of warm spices. You'll find notes of seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika, and even a pinch of allspice. This carefully crafted coating ensures every slice is sweet, savory, and perfectly spiced, just like the original.

Prepare for a holiday centerpiece that's both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious. You'll enjoy tender, juicy slices of bone-in spiral sliced ham enveloped in a glistening, slightly caramelized crust that delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and aromatic spice. The rich, savory notes of the ham are beautifully complemented by the complex honey and spice glaze, creating a memorable meal experience that will have everyone asking for seconds.

This recipe is designed to bring that familiar, comforting flavor of a classic HoneyBaked Ham right to your dining room. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that elevates any festive gathering, offering a sophisticated yet approachable taste that appeals to all ages. With an 8 lb bone-in spiral sliced half ham serving 8, it's perfect for a medium-sized gathering.

While the spice blend is meticulously balanced for that classic HoneyBaked flavor, you can subtly adjust the amounts of individual spices like ginger or cloves to suit your personal preference for a bolder or milder aromatic profile. For a slightly less sweet glaze, you could experiment with a touch less granulated sugar, though it's key to achieving that signature HoneyBaked taste.

This impressive ham is ideal as the star of your holiday feast, a festive Sunday dinner, or any special occasion. Pair it with your favorite classic sides like mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, or roasted vegetables for a truly complete and satisfying meal.
