A delightful twist on the classic baked ham, featuring a honey glaze infused with citrus and mustard for a tangy and sweet flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham.
Ensure the thermometer does not touch the bone for an accurate reading.
Bake the ham uncovered for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the thermometer reads 135°F (57°C).
Cover the ham loosely with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, ground mustard, and orange zest to create the glaze.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Brush the glaze over the ham during the last 45 minutes of baking.
Apply the glaze evenly for a consistent flavor.
Remove the ham from the oven and cover it with a tent of aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham more tender.
Carve the ham into slices and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Honey-Glazed Ham with Citrus Mustard!
