This honey-glazed baked ham recipe is a delightful twist on the classic baked ham, featuring a sweet and savory glaze that enhances the natural flavors of the ham.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, ground cloves, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
Mixing the glaze thoroughly ensures even flavor distribution.
Trim the outer skin from the ham and score the surface in a diamond pattern using a knife.
Scoring the ham allows the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.
Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush it generously with the prepared glaze.
Use a basting brush for even application of the glaze.
Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.
Basting regularly keeps the ham moist and flavorful.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Uncovering the ham lets the glaze form a delicious crust.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting the ham allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender.
