There’s something timeless about a well-cooked, baked ham. Whether you’re preparing for a holiday feast, a special Sunday dinner, or just craving that mouthwatering combination of sweet and salty, a baked ham with a brown sugar glaze is the answer. Today, we’ll journey together through the steps to create the perfect baked ham while also giving you insider tips to optimize flavor and presentation.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Ham
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s chat about ham selection. Ideally, you’d want a bone-in, spiral-sliced ham. Bone-in guarantees depth of flavor, while the spiral slice ensures easy serving. When shopping, aim for a ham that’s labeled “fully cooked,” which means it only requires reheating.
Ingredients:
- 1 spiral-sliced bone-in ham (about 7 to 10 pounds)
- ¾ cup of packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup of pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves
