Orange Honey Spiral Glazed Ham
Are you scrambling for the perfect entree for your Easter celebration? Traditionally, our family always opts for a ham with all of our favorite sides. Trust me this recipe for Orange Honey Spiral Glazed Hamlooks and smells divine and tastes beyond amazing. Best of all, before you know it, your ham will be baking in the oven, allowing you time to celebrate with family and friends.
Begin with a spiral cut ham.
Mix up the delicious glaze, and you may want to double it so you can allow others to spoon it over their ham slices.
Lay your ham on two sheets of heavy foil. Spoon glaze between slices of ham. Pour remaining glaze over the ham and wrap tightly. Bake as directed in a roasting pan.
If you're ready for a heavenly spiral-cut holiday ham, here it is. It's easy to make the delicious glaze and the ham stays moist and tender.
Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
Zest and juice of two oranges*
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
pinch of nutmeg
1 (10 pound) bone-in half spiral ham
Instructions
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix all of the glaze ingredients together.
Place the ham, (cut side down), in the middle of two sheets of heavy duty aluminum. Use enough to completely enclose the ham.
Pour or brush the glaze over the ham, working it in a little between the slices.
Tightly wrap the ham up and place it on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with about an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees, about 20 minutes per pound. For a 10 pound ham plan on approximately 2-1/2 hours.
Let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Without an orange in sight, I used the rind and juice from 2 tangelos and the glaze was perfectly delicious.
