A delightful twist on the classic honey baked ham, featuring a citrus glaze for added flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the ham inside for even cooking.
Place the smoked ham, cut side down, in a large baking pan.
Lining the pan with foil can make cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, light brown sugar, fresh orange juice, and fresh lemon juice to create the glaze.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Brush the glaze generously over the ham, ensuring it is well coated.
Reserve some glaze for basting during cooking.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes per pound, basting with the glaze every 20 minutes.
Basting frequently helps to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
For a deeper caramelization, you can use a kitchen torch carefully on the glaze.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham more tender.
