Maple and Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

Maple and Brown Sugar Glazed Ham

I enjoy baking a ham a few times a year. This was a recipe from Bodi that I decided to try after Thanksgiving. I normally bake spiral hams, this was a basic cooked ham, but with the glaze it was fantastic.

Ingredients:

6-8 pound cooked ham

4 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 cup light brown sugar

2 tablespoons Dijon mustared

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Remove ham from package. Add 1/2 inch water to base of roasting pan. Place ham on wire rack.
  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
  4. Cook for 3 minutes stirring frequently.
  5. Remove from heat. Whisking continuously add maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, and cloves.
  6. Return to low heat and bring to a gentle boil. Stir often scraping with a rubber spatula. Boil for 1 minute stirring constantly.
  7. Glaze ham every 15 minutes until ham reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees (baking approximately 15 minutes per pound)
  8. Let rest a few minutes before slicing.
  9. Enjoy!
