Ingredients
Scale
- 8–10 lb pre-cooked bone-in ham
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Score the fat cap of the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch deep.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk honey, brown sugar, orange juice, and Dijon mustard until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in orange zest and cinnamon.
- Brush the ham generously with the glaze, ensuring it enters the scored cuts.
- Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake for 10-12 minutes per pound.
- Baste the ham with additional glaze every 30 minutes during the roasting process.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the final 15 minutes of cooking to caramelize the crust.
- Remove the ham when the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving and serving.
