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
Total 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.
