Description
Make this delicious Honey Baked Ham store ham with signature glaze right at home.
Ingredients
10 lb bone-in spiral sliced half ham
2 Tbsp butter, melted
3 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp paprika
pinch of allspice
Instructions
Slow cooker method:
Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
Oven method:
Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Cover entire ham with foil. Bake in preheated 275 degree F oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Lining with foil is essential as glaze hardens when cooled making the pan cleanup a nightmare.
Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.
Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.
To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture. Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. Stir, and heat to a boil. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.
Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful… don’t let it burn!). Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes.
Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
Notes
If using an infrared broiled, be extremely careful not to burn. You can also use a kitchen torch to caramelize the glaze.
