Baked Honey-Glazed Ham
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 4 hours
Serves: 12


Baked Honey-Glazed HamThis is a big ham and will feed a family of 12 with leftovers. Keep the bone to make split pea soup later in the week.

Ingredients:
  • 1 Whole Ham, 18-20 pounds
  • 2 tbsp Harris Teeter (HT) Prepared Mustard
  • 1 cup HT Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
  • ½ cup HT Honey
  • Whole Cloves
  • 1 (8 oz.) can HT Pineapple Rings
  • 1 (6 oz.) jar HT Maraschino Cherries
  • 1 cup HT Ginger Ale
Preheat oven to 450°F. Remove the rind from the ham and most of the fat, leaving an even layer about 1/8 inch thick. Place the ham in a heavy rondeau pot. With your chef knife score crisscross the fat on the ham making a diamond pattern

In a small bowl, combine mustard, brown sugar, and honey. Rub the ham all over with the mustard-honey sauce, pressing sauce into the cut marks. Stick a whole clove in the center of each diamond, secure slices of pineapple to the ham with toothpicks. Then in the center of each pineapple ring, secure maraschino cherries with toothpicks.

Bake the ham, fat side up, for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F and cook for 3 1/2 hours. Baste every 30 minutes with ginger ale and drippings. Pork needs to cook to an internal temperature of 150 degrees. Remove from oven and transfer to a carving board. Let the ham stand for 15 minutes before carving. Add carving juices to the sauce and serve on the side.
