Honey Glazed Ham

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow I am having friends over for dinner and I am going to make a big ham.  If you get a smaller ham, you will want to adjust the cooking time.  Everyone else will bring the sides but I think I'll request macaroni and cheese and a green salad.

Honey Glazed Ham
Amy - amylz

1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup pineapple juice
⅓ cup honey
⅓ large orange, juiced and zested
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place ham in a roasting pan. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, orange juice, orange zest, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside. Bake ham in preheated oven uncovered for 2 hours. Remove ham from oven, and brush with glaze. Bake for an additional 30 to 45 minutes, brushing ham with glaze every 10 minutes.

Honey Glazed Ham - This was delicious! I am not a fan of pork but I really liked this. I think the cooking time is a bit off as it started to burn around the edges at 2 hours in. So, I basted it then and then let it sit in the oven about 20 minutes and then took it out. I kind of thought the burnt ends were the best part though. At any rate, the leftovers are excellent too.
