Honey Mustard Glazed Ham From Texas Recipes

Ingredients:

1 (10-pound) smoked, bone-in ham
1 cup honey
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
Honey-Mustard Glazed Ham
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the lower third.

Remove any plastic packaging or netting from the ham. Trim any excess fat from the ham, leaving about a 1/4-inch layer all over.

Set the ham aside to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Line a baking sheet with several sheets of aluminum foil (it will make cleanup a lot easier).

Place the ham, cut side down, on the baking sheet and cover with a piece of parchment paper. Tightly cover the ham and parchment paper with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and brown sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Set aside and let cool to lukewarm (the glaze should be the consistency of room-temperature honey).

When the ham is ready, remove it from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Discard the foil and parchment paper, and, using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern (don’t cut more than 1/4 inch deep) over the entire ham.

Brush the ham with 1/4 of the glaze (about a generous 1/3 cup), return it to the oven, and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven, brush with another 1/4 of the glaze, and repeat every 15 minutes until all of the glaze has been used and a dark golden-brown crust has formed, about 55 to 60 minutes total.

Let the ham rest 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.
