BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
Cooking time is about 12-14 minutes per pound. You're basically re-heating it all the way though the center, but don't want to over cook it to where it's dry. Use a thermometer to monitor the internal temperature to be about 140°F/60°C for an already fully cooked ham.

Steps:
- Remove ham from package and netting. If it's been refrigerated, if possible let it sit out for about 1 hour to take a bit of the chill off. If ham is not pre-sliced, score the ham with shallow 1/2-inch/12mm criss-cross cuts.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C.
- Make the Glaze (this can also be done while ham bakes for the first 30 minutes): In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar glaze ingredients (brown sugar, honey, orange juice, optional mustard, cinnamon, clove (optional), and black pepper). Heat and whisk until brown sugar is dissolved and glaze is well combined. Set aside.
- Lay ham cut side down on a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Baking the ham for 30 minutes (or if using a different sized ham - about 20 minutes before it should be finished - base complete timing off of cooking for 12-14 minutes per pound), uncover the ham and and brush 1/2 of the glaze over the ham.
- Increase oven to 425°F/220°C, place the ham back in the oven, UNCOVERED, and bake for another 20 minutes or until the ham is crispy on the outside and the internal temperature is 140°F/60°C.
- Optional serving: Combine the juices from the roasting pan and the remaining glaze in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Brush the glaze onto the ham when serving or serve alongside in a bowl for everyone to add as they like.

Steps:
- Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover the pan with the lid and bake for half the estimated cooking time (Total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound.) Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the sugar and honey to a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until smooth and sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham and continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster.
- Check for doneness at the end of the estimated cooking time by inserting a meat thermometer at a meaty point (not into fat or touching the bone). It should register 160 degrees F.

Tips and Tricks:
- Selecting quality ingredients is crucial for a flavorful final product. Choose a bone-in, smoked ham for a more robust taste and texture.
- The honey and brown sugar glaze is the star of this dish. Ensure you use pure honey, as artificial sweeteners may not provide the same depth of flavor.
- Adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the glaze adds a subtle tang that complements the sweetness of the honey and brown sugar.
- If preferred, use a pastry brush to evenly coat the ham with the glaze instead of spooning it. This technique helps ensure all parts of the ham are well-glazed.
- Keep a close eye on the ham during baking to prevent overcooking. Check the internal temperature regularly using a meat thermometer, aiming for an internal temperature between 135°F and 140°F for a juicy and tender result.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you're well on your way to creating a mouthwatering ham with honey and brown sugar glaze that will impress your family and friends. Remember, the key to success lies in using quality ingredients, carefully monitoring the cooking process, and allowing the ham to rest before slicing. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in this classic dish that's sure to leave a lasting impression.
