Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup honey

  • 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 2–3 tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. ground cloves
  • ½ tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1–2 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne (optional for heat)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Place ham in roasting pan cut-side down. Stud with whole cloves if you like. Pour ½ cup water or apple juice into bottom of pan to keep it moist. Cover with foil.

  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, honey, molasses/maple, juice, mustard, vinegar, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Add cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, smoked paprika, black pepper, and (optional) hot sauce + cayenne. Simmer 2–3 minutes until glossy.

  3. Taste the glaze. Add more brown sugar to sweeten, more vinegar/hot sauce for tang, or more paprika for smokiness. Bake ham for 1 hour covered to warm it through, then remove foil. Brush ham generously with glaze (get between slices). Bake uncovered 20 minutes, then glaze again. Repeat glaze and bake every 15–20 minutes for 45–60 minutes, until shiny and caramelized. Reheat cooked hams packaged in USDA-inspected plants to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F and all others to 165 °F.

  4. Let ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Drizzle any leftover glaze over slices.

  5. Serve your way, any time of the day.
