Honey-Glazed Spiral Ham by Elizabethwu

Ingredients

• 1 (11 lb) smoked spiral sliced ham, bone-in
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 4 tbsp grass-fed butter, melted
• 4 tbsp hot honey
• 3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 cup granulated white sugar
• 1.5 tsp seasoned salt
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1.5 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1.5 tsp ground cloves
• 1.5 tsp ground ginger
• 1.5 tsp sweet paprika
• 1 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C). Place ham flat-side down in a large roasting pan.
2. Whisk melted butter and hot honey together, then brush the mixture evenly over the entire surface of the ham.
3. Pour 1 cup of pineapple juice into the bottom of the roasting pan.
4. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes (or 10-12 minutes per pound).
5. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, white sugar, seasoned salt, garlic powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, paprika, and allspice. Divide this mixture into three equal portions.
6. Remove foil from the ham. Pat the first portion of the sugar mixture over the ham, ensuring it gets into the crevices between slices.
7. Broil on high for 2 minutes until the sugar begins to melt.
8. Remove from oven, apply the second portion of the sugar mixture, and broil for another 2 minutes.
9. For the final glaze, whisk 1 cup of reserved pan drippings with the final third of the sugar mixture, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat.
10. Brush the glaze over the ham and perform a final 2-3 minute broil until the crust is deeply caramelized and bubbly.
11. Rest the ham for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
