Holiday Ham

I am sure that everyone wish's that the holiday ham you buy came with extra glaze. here is a recipe I have used in the past and its as good if not better then what comes with the ham. so I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ham Glaze

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

Zest and juice of 1 orange

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

6 to 8 scrapes of fresh nutmeg, using a rasp

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Use with a 6-7 pound spiral cut ham

 

mix together the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper

 

 Line a pan with enough aluminum foil to wrap the ham and then pour half of the glaze over the ham allowing it to sink into the slices. Tightly wrap the ham in the foil and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes per pound.

 

heat the remaining glaze on medium heat, whisk until small bubble appear all over and then remove from heat. 

 

Remove the ham and then pour the glaze over the ham and cook for 15 minutes uncovered.
