This Orange Brown Sugar Glazed Ham is a must for your upcoming holiday table! It is sweet and savory, full of the most perfect sticky glaze, and is so tender, yet crisp on the edges, like a ham should be. 

Truly finger licking good and incredibly easy to make! Don’t be fooled or scared about making a ham this year. This recipe comes together quickly and effortlessly, so you can focus not only on the other components of your dinner, but also on your guests at hand!

BAKED HAM

Make life simple by purchasing a spiral-cut or sliced bone-in ham. It will help with keeping the ham process extremely simple! As simple as whisking the glaze ingredients together and slathering it on the ham every so often while it bakes. That’s it!

You are going to have enough to do the days leading up to Christmas, including Christmas day itself. So cutting out a step or two on slicing or scoring the meat can be a life saver on time.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 8-10 lb bone-in, spiral sliced ham
• Dark brown sugar
• Orange juice
• Honey (or maple syrup)
• Whole-grain dijon mustard
• Orange marmalade

Just a handful of ingredients to make a delicious, sticky, sweet and savory ham for a crowd!

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and line a heavy-duty roasting pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. Place the rack into the pan on top of the foil.
3. Unwrap the ham, pat it dry to remove some water (if needed), and place it fatty side up, flat side down.
4. Combine ingredients for the glaze into a large mixing bowl and brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to brush in between the slices.
5. Cover loosely with foil or parchment paper and bake for 2-21/2 hours, or until a thermometer reads 125-130 degrees F.
6. Remove from oven, increase the temperature to 425 degrees F and remove the foil.
7. Brush more glaze over the ham and return it to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes, brushing it with the remaining glaze every 5-6 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

TOOLS USED TO MAKE THIS HAM:

1. Harbor Instant Read Thermometer – I use this with liquids and meats to check that the temperature has reached the approximate and/or safe temperature needed. I recommend checking that the ham has reached the recommended, safe temperature:  165 degrees F in the thickest part, prior to removing it from the oven.
2. Cuisinart Roaster with Rack – This roasting pan and rack works perfectly for cooking the ham (or turkey) evenly and mess-free (if you line with aluminum foil – which I recommend!).
