Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 8-10 pounds bone-in, fully cooked spiral-cut ham
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup spicy (whole-grained mustard)
  • 1/2 cup dark molasses
  • 3 Tablespoons prepared horseradish (drained)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Remove ham from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours in advance.  This helps the ham heat up more evenly without drying out and is a common approach to cooking larger pieces of meat.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  
  • Make the brown sugar glaze by whisking all the ingredients together in a pan and bring to a simmer for 1-2 minutes until the brown sugar is dissolved.  Set aside.
  • Brush ham with brown sugar glaze using a pastry brush.  Place the ham flat side down (face down) in a large pan or roasting rack and cover completely with foil.
  • Bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and baste the ham with the juices from the pan and brush with 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
  • Recover and bake another 30 minutes, then baste the ham with it's own juices and glaze again with another 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
  • Uncover ham and bake 20-30 minutes more, until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.  Remove ham from oven and baste and brush with the remaining 1/3 of the brown sugar glaze.
  • Loosely cover with foil and let rest for 15-30 minutes for the juices to redistribute throughout the ham.
