Honey Glazed Ham
- 1 (14 pound) Virginia ham, fully cooked, bone- in, trimmed, room temperature *
- 1 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, ground
- 1 teaspoon cloves, optional
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Pat dry the ham and place into a heavy duty foillined roasting pan.
- In a small pot, combine the honey, brown sugar, cayenne, and ginger (and cloves if you choose).
- Heat just until the sugar is melted.
- Stir to evenly combine all of the ingredients.
- For a fancy diamond pattern, you can use a sharp paring knife and score the fat about 1/2-inch deep in one direction at about a 45-degree angle, about 2 inches apart.
- Then go back across in the opposite direction to create the diamond pattern.
- You cannot do this if you bought it pre-sliced or spiral cut.
- Using a basting brush, cover the ham with the glaze.
- Place in the pre-heated oven and baste with the glaze about every 20 minutes until the internal temperature reads about 140 degrees.
- The ham is fully cooked already, so you just need to heat it through.
- This will take 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
