Honey Glazed Ham

By , About.com Guide

As much as turkey is associated with Thanksgiving, so ham takes center stage at Christmas. This honey glazed ham is simple to prepare. Trim the fat to keep it lean.

Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 5-pound fully cooked whole boneless ham
  • 1 cup of honey
  • 3 tbsp orange juice
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place ham flat side down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan; bake uncovered for 1 1/4 hours, or until an instant-read meat thermometer registers 140 degrees (about 15-18 minutes per pound).

For the glaze, combine honey, orange juice, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl, stirring well.

Brush ham with glaze after 45 minutes’ baking time. Baste frequently until done.

Serves 16-20
