A delightful ham recipe with a sweet and spiced glaze, perfect for any festive occasion.
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the ham's packaging.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham in a baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil.
Covering the ham prevents it from drying out during the initial cooking phase.
Bake the ham according to the package instructions, usually about 15 minutes per pound.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and mustard to create the glaze.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
Remove the ham from the oven 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time and brush the glaze generously over the surface.
For extra flavor, brush some glaze into the scored cuts of the ham.
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and continue baking for the remaining 30 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the glaze to caramelize beautifully.
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.
