A delightful ham recipe featuring a honey and cider glaze, perfect for any special occasion.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the ham, fat-side up, in a roasting pan.
Ensure the ham is at room temperature before placing it in the oven for even cooking.
In a saucepan, combine the apple cider, cinnamon stick, cloves, and allspice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering the glaze allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Pour the cider mixture over the ham. Cover the pan with foil and bake, basting every 30 minutes, for 2.5 hours.
Basting frequently keeps the ham moist and flavorful.
Remove the ham from the oven and increase the temperature to 400°F (204°C). Score the fat in a diamond pattern and stud with cloves.
Scoring the fat allows the glaze to penetrate deeper into the ham.
In a saucepan, melt the honey and brown sugar over low heat. Brush this mixture over the ham.
Use a basting brush to evenly coat the ham with the glaze.
Return the ham to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes, until golden and caramelized.
Keep an eye on the ham to prevent the glaze from burning.
Let the ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting the ham allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
