Ingredients
1 spiral sliced fully cooked ham (8–10 pounds)
1 can Dr Pepper
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional garnish
orange slices
green grapes
fresh bay leaves
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325°F.
-
Place the spiral sliced ham cut side down in a large roasting pan.
-
Pour the Dr Pepper into the bottom of the roasting pan. Cover the ham loosely with foil.
-
Bake the ham for about 12–15 minutes per pound, approximately 2 to 2½ hours.
-
While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper.
-
Add about ½ cup of the Dr Pepper pan juices from the roasting pan and simmer over medium heat for 5–8 minutes until the glaze thickens.
-
During the last 30 minutes of baking, brush the glaze generously over the ham.
-
Continue baking uncovered, brushing with glaze every 10 minutes to create a sticky caramelized coating.
-
Remove ham from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use a spiral sliced ham so the glaze seeps between each slice for maximum flavor.
Baste frequently during the final baking time to create a rich caramelized glaze.
Leftover ham is perfect for sandwiches, soups, omelets, and breakfast casseroles.
