Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 small pre-cooked Spiral Ham (approximately 2-3 pounds)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- Optional: Pinch of garlic powder (black pepper, or other spices for additional flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and any optional spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set the glaze aside.
- Place the pre-cooked Spiral Ham in a roasting pan or baking dish. Score the surface of the ham in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife.
- Brush the prepared glaze generously over the surface of the ham, ensuring it coats the entire surface.
- Bake the glazed ham in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 140°F (60°C) when tested with a meat thermometer. Baste the ham with the remaining glaze every 20-30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Once the ham is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the Honey Mustard Maple Glazed Ham and serve it warm as the main course for your meal.
