Easiest Ever Glazed Ham
Sweet, tangy, and perfectly caramelized, this ham brings big holiday flavour with minimal effort — so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time around the table.
- 1 boneless honey ham, about 4 lb
For the Glaze
- 1/3 cup apricot jam
- 3 Tbsp grainy mustard
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
Preparation
- Glaze: Stir jam with mustard, brown sugar and maple syrup until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a roasting pan with a rack.
- Place ham on rack; add 1/2-inch water to bottom of roaster and tent ham with greased foil.
- Roast for 60 to 90 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 150-155°F. Remove ham from oven and adjust oven temperature to broil.
- Brush ham liberally with half the glaze. Return to oven; set on middle rack. Broil, rotating pan often and basting with remaining glaze midway, for 10 to 15 minutes or until the exterior is nicely caramelized.
- Rest ham for 15 minutes before carving (the internal temperature will continue to rise to 160°F during the broiling and resting stages).
TIPS:
For an equally easy and impressive holiday ham, use a bone-in, spiral sliced, fully cooked ham. Place the ham, flat-side-down in the roaster. Roast as directed above, adjusting the cook time as needed based on weight, estimating 15 minutes per pound. The glaze recipe doubles easily if cooking a larger ham.
Warm jam gently in the microwave or on the stovetop if needed to loosen before combining with remaining ingredients.
