A delightful honey-glazed ham recipe that is perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the boneless ham in a baking pan and cover it with aluminum foil.
Covering the ham helps retain moisture during the initial baking.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
This step allows the ham to heat through evenly.
In a saucepan, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Stirring constantly prevents the glaze from burning.
Remove the ham from the oven and uncover it. Brush the glaze generously over the ham.
Ensure the glaze coats the ham evenly for maximum flavor.
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes.
Basting frequently helps create a caramelized crust.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham more tender.
