Serving Size: 3oz
Ingredients
1 6-8 poundfully cooked spiral sliced ham
½cuphoney
1teaspoonorange zest
⅓cupfreshly squeezed orange juice, from 1 large orange
2tablespoonsDijon mustard
½teaspoonground cloves
1navel orange, cut in ¼-inch thick rounds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Add the honey, orange juice, zest, mustard, and cloves to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Place the orange slices in an even layer in the bottom of a baking dish or roasting pan. Place the ham on top of the oranges, cut side down. Spoon ⅓ of the glaze over the ham. Cover tightly with foil. Bake the ham for 12 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
Take the ham out of the oven and remove the foil. Turn the heat up to broil.
- Using tongs and a spatula, carefully turn the ham so the fat is now facing up. If the ham begins to fan out a lot, ball up a piece of foil to tuck up against it to help keep it all together. Spoon the remaining glaze over the ham all over the meat. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until caramelized and golden. Keep an eye on it as everyone’s broilers are different and it can caramelize quickly.
- Remove from the oven baste all over with the juices from the bottom of the pan. Transfer ham to a platter and serve with leftover pan juices.
