Description
This delicious glazed spiral ham is perfect for any occasion, combining the sweetness of brown sugar and orange with the savory flavors of spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 7 pounds spiral ham (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large naval orange (zested and juiced, about 1/4 cup juice)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prep the ham: Preheat the oven to 325°F and center the oven rack. Remove all packaging, including the plastic disc, and place the ham flat-side down in a foil-lined 9 x 13 pan. Cover the ham tightly with foil.
- Heat the ham: Bake 10–12 minutes per pound for boneless ham or about 15 minutes per pound for bone-in ham, until heated through.
- Make the glaze: While the ham bakes, heat the brown sugar, orange zest and juice, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, and sea salt in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking until smooth and slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Glaze and finish: Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Uncover the ham, ladle off the pan juices, and brush the glaze evenly over the ham. Return it to the oven, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, or until the glaze has set.
- Rest and serve: Transfer the ham to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Spiral ham is fully cooked, so you’re just reheating it for this recipe. An instant-read thermometer, if used, should read 140°F in the center to ensure it’s warm throughout with no cold spots.
