Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honey Glazed Baked Ham.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your ham and score its surface with gentle, shallow cuts, then stud it with whole cloves for that classic touch.
Step 3
Next, place the ham in a roasting pan lined with foil to make cleanup a breeze.
Step 4
In the top half of a double boiler, mix together dark corn syrup, honey, and butter, allowing the ingredients to meld together over gentle heat.
Step 5
This sweet glaze will keep warm and ready to enhance your ham as it bakes.
Step 6
Generously brush the glaze over the ham, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated, then pop it into the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Step 7
To keep your ham moist and bursting with flavor, baste it with the honey glaze every 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 8
As you approach the final moments of baking, turn on the broiler for the last 4 to 5 minutes to achieve a beautifully caramelized finish.
Step 9
Once your ham is perfectly baked, take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes—this step is key for juicy slices.
Step 10
Finally, slice and serve your mouthwatering honey-glazed ham, and watch as your guests savor every delicious bite.
Step 11
Enjoy this delightful centerpiece at your next gathering!.
