Sweet Honey Baked Ham
Ingredients
  • 1 (5 pound) ready-to-eat ham
  • 1/4 cup whole cloves
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 cups honey
  • 2/3 cup butter
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature for optimal cooking results.
2
Next, take your ham and carefully make shallow cuts to create a decorative pattern. Then, insert whole cloves into the scored areas of the ham, creating a visually appealing and fragrant presentation.
3
In a separate pan or saucepan, combine the corn syrup, honey, and butter. Place this mixture over low heat in a double boiler setup, allowing it to simmer gently while you prepare the ham for baking.
4
Keep the warm glaze mixture ready to go, as it will be used to brush over the ham during the baking process. After placing the ham in a foil-lined pan, use this glaze to coat it evenly.
5
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. During this time, every 10 to 15 minutes, baste the ham with the warm honey glaze, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.
6
As the final 4 to 5 minutes of baking approach, turn on your oven's broiler to give the glaze a golden, caramelized finish. Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
7
Serve your beautifully glazed ham hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a side of roasted vegetables to complement its rich flavors.
