HONEY GLAZED HAM
This ham tastes very much like the famous honey baked ham but costs much less, and there's no need to fight the crowds at holiday time. You can even buy the ham presliced to make it easier and more like the original. It is very good. (I do this while preparing the rest of the meal in the kitchen so that I don't forget to baste!)

Steps:
- Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
- Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
- Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)
CHEF JOHN'S HONEY-GLAZED HAM
A great holiday ham glaze needs to have three things: wonderful flavor, gorgeous, shiny appearance, and a crispy, crackling crust you can hear across the room. I'm happy to report this easy-to-make glaze has all those things in abundance.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Pour water, star anise, and cloves into the bottom of a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack into the pan over the water, anise, and cloves; place ham on rack. Cut 1/4-inch deep slashes 1/2-inch apart lengthwise and crosswise across the top of the entire ham.
- Bake ham in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Whisk brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl until glaze has a thick, smooth consistency.
- Brush glaze all over ham. Continue baking ham, brushing glaze on every 20 minutes, until glaze is deep golden and ham is heated through, about 2 hours 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
- Use a kitchen torch to heat the glaze on the ham until it is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 or if pressed for time 300.
- Remove the rind from the ham and most of the fat if there in a lot. I always score the ham - cut it diagonally so you get the pretty diamonds. Put a clove in the center of each diamond. Place ham in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil - eliminates that nasty clean up later.
- In a small bowl, combine mustard, brown sugar and honey. Pour glaze over the ham and press into the cuts. Using toothpicks, secure slices of pineapple to the ham with a cherry in the middle of each ring.
- Bake the ham from 4 hours to all day. Baste every 30 minute with equal parts wine and ginger ale, or ginger ale only. Later in the cooking process use the pan juices for basting.
- Remove from the oven and let ham stand for 30 minutes before carving. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: For a crowd-size ham, select a fully cooked bone-in or boneless ham weighing between 10 and 12 pounds.
- Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting about 1/4 inch deep. This helps the glaze penetrate the ham and creates a crispy crust.
- Make the honey glaze: Combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, orange juice, and ground cloves in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Glaze the ham: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush with the honey glaze. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- Remove the foil and continue baking: Uncover the ham and brush with the remaining glaze. Continue baking for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
- Let the ham rest: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
