Ingredients:


  • 1 pre-cooked spiral cut ham (around 7-9 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup Huckle Bee Farms Bourbon Infused Honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

Prepare the Honey Sauce Glaze:

  • To create a flavorful marinade, mix Huckle Bee Farms Bourbon Infused Honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, and optional bourbon in a small sauce pot. Add Dijon mustard, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well in the small saucepan.
  • Heat the mixture on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is mixed and forms a smooth glaze. Set aside.

Prepare the Ham:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Place the pre-cooked spiral ham in a roasting pan or baking dish, flat side down.

Glaze the Ham:

  • Brush the glaze all over the ham as if it were a marinade, making sure it enters the slices for the best flavor.

Bake the Ham:

  • Tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning, leaving enough space for heat circulation.
  • Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes per pound or until heated through. Baste the ham with the glaze every 20-30 minutes during the cooking process.

Caramelize the Glaze:

  • Remove the foil during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking. This will allow the glaze to caramelize and create a delicious crust on the ham.
  1. Rest and Serve:
  • After heating and glazing the ham, remove it from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before cutting.
  • Slice the ham and serve warm, drizzling any remaining glaze from the pan over the slices for an extra burst of flavor.
