⁣Spiral-Sliced Ham Recipe
This easy, flavorful recipe for spiral-sliced ham is perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any special occasion. With minimal prep, this tender ham will be a showstopper at your next meal.
Ingredients:

1 spiral-sliced ham (about 8-10 pounds)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for a rich glaze)

Instructions:


Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a roasting pan by lining it with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.


Prepare the Ham:
Remove the spiral-sliced ham from its packaging. If your ham has a glaze packet, you can discard it or use it as an extra flavor base. Place the ham, cut side down, into the prepared roasting pan. Cover it loosely with foil to keep the moisture in.


Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well-combined. If you want a richer glaze, add the tablespoon of butter and stir until it melts into the glaze.


Glaze the Ham:
Brush the glaze generously over the top of the ham, making sure to coat the slices between the spiral cuts. Reserve some glaze to brush on later as the ham cooks.


Bake the Ham:
Place the ham in the oven and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until heated through and caramelized on top. Baste the ham with the glaze every 20-30 minutes, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.


Finish and Serve:
Once the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), remove it from the oven. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute. Slice and serve, drizzling with any leftover glaze.


Tips:

For extra flavor: Add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the roasting pan for a fragrant touch.
Leftovers: Spiral-sliced ham makes great leftovers for sandwiches, soups, or salads!

Enjoy your tender, sweet, and savory spiral-sliced ham that’s sure to impress your guests!
