Copycat Honey Baked Ham

Ingredients

• 1 spiral ham (8-10 pounds, fully cooked)
• 1 cup honey
• ⅓ cup melted butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. Remove the packaging and plastic disk from the bottom of the ham and discard. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, cut side down, and cover the ham and pan with foil.
3. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F.
4. While the ham is baking, in a small bowl combine honey, butter, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and cloves. Mix well.
5. Once the ham reaches 135°F, remove it from the oven. Turn the oven up to 425°F. Brush the ham generously with the honey glaze, I recommend 2 to 3 coats of glaze.
6. Return to the oven and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until ham reaches 140°F and the glaze is browned.
7. Remove the ham from the oven and rest at least 15 minutes before cutting. Spoon juices over the ham before serving if desired.
