Sugar-baked ham is a dish that is both succulent and savory, with a crispy, caramelized crust and a tender, juicy interior. It is a popular choice for special occasions such as Easter and Christmas, but it can also be enjoyed as a weeknight meal. There are many different ways to make sugar-baked ham, but they all start with a cured ham that is coated in a mixture of brown sugar, spices, and fruit preserves. The ham is then baked in the oven until it is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and browned.

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.)

BAKED HAM WITH BALSAMIC BROWN SUGAR GLAZE
A gorgeous, juicy ham is the centerpiece of many holiday tables, and we think that this simple (and simply stunning, when you taste it) recipe should be the next one you try. It starts with a pre-cooked ham (which you can learn more about in our handy article that covers all the details of how to cook a ham) and from there, an easy glaze does the work of adding flavor and a glossy appearance. Sweet-on-sweet glazes were more popular in the past, but this updated-yet-accessible version strikes an ideal balance between sweet and acidic, the perfect complements to naturally salty ham. The hardest part about this six-ingredient recipe? Waiting to carve yourself a succulent slice-after all, a good host lets their guests go first.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large roasting pan with foil; fit roasting rack inside. Place ham, flat side down, on a large piece of parchment or waxed paper. With a sharp paring knife, lightly score layer of fat on top of ham in a diamond pattern (do not cut into meat). Combine sugars.

- Place on roasting rack, coated side up. Roast until warm throughout, about 1 hour. Raise heat to 450 degrees; roast until crust is crunchy, about 15 minutes more.
BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD BAKED HAM
This recipe may sound a bit strange, but my family has been making baked ham this way for generations and everyone loves it! It has a wonderful flavor and is so tender and never dry. It's always a huge hit and so simple to make. Prep and cooking time is based on a 6 pound ham, but any size ham can be used. The idea is to cover the ham with mustard and brown sugar, so amounts should be adjusted depending upon the size of the ham. I noticed in the nutrition information that shows one serving to be 1000 calories! I'm certain this is not correct and probably is figuring the bone in the serving size. Don't be afraid to try it! :-)

Steps:
- Rinse ham in water. I find some brands of ham are saltier than others so ham can be soaked in water for one hour to prevent saltiness.
- Pat ham dry and place flat (cut) side down in roasting pan.
- Pour entire can of 7UP or ginger ale over ham.
- Bake in 325°F oven for 20 minutes per pound.
- Baste ham every 1/2 hour.
- When there is about 20 minutes left to cook, take ham out and cover the entire ham (except the flat side) with yellow mustard. I just squirt it out of the bottle all over the ham and then spread it with a spatula. Then cover ham with the brown sugar. For this I usually use my hands.
- Return ham to the oven until cooking time is finished. Do not baste after mustard and brown sugar have been added.
- Put on platter and slice. Ham juices from pan can be served in a gravy boat to drizzle over sliced ham.

BAKED HAM WITH BROWN SUGAR AND MUSTARD GLAZE
Besides a roasting pan, you don't need any fancy gadgets to make this baked ham. By cooking the ham in the drippings, it's moist and juicy when baked. The sticky, sweet, and tangy glaze penetrates the meat. The sweet mustard glaze melts into the salty drippings making the ham full of flavor and creates the most amazing tangy...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Take the ham out of the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for 30 minutes to cut the chill.
- 2. Over med-low heat, melt butter in a small saucepan.
- 3. Add the brown sugar and mix into the melted butter.
- 4. Then add the mustard.
- 5. Once the mustard is incorporated, cook on med-low heat stirring constantly for a few minutes until the sugar melts and is a loose consistency. Make sure it does not boil. (You don't want to make caramel.)
- 6. Unwrap the ham. Place in a roasting pan. Brush about 1/2 of the glaze on the ham.
- 7. Separate the slices and get the glaze in-between the layers. Set the rest aside for later.
- 8. Push the layers back together and cover the ham tightly with foil to keep the moisture in. Bake for about 15 minutes per pound. Bear in mind, the ham is fully cooked. You're not actually cooking the ham, only reheating it.
- 9. Using drippings, baste every 30 minutes, or as often as you like, with a spoon or a brush.
- 10. In the last 15 to 20 minutes, do one final glaze of the ham. Before glazing, stir and reheat the leftover glaze for a couple of minutes on medium-low.
- 11. Take out the ham out of the oven and pour the reheated glaze onto the ham.
- 12. Brush glaze across the ham to spread it out.
- 13. Increase the temperature to 350 and cook uncovered for a final 15 to 20 minutes.
- 14. In order to easily serve the ham, cut in a circular motion around the bone deep into the ham and the slices will come right off.

Tips for Making the Best Sugar-Baked Ham:
- Choose a high-quality ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and bone-in. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful and juicy than a boneless ham.
- Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the glaze to penetrate the meat and creates a crispy crust.
- Make a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what gives the ham its sweet and sticky flavor. You can use a variety of ingredients to make a glaze, such as brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and spices.
- Bake the ham at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
- Baste the ham regularly: Basting the ham with the glaze helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the ham rest before carving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Sugar-baked ham is a classic holiday dish that is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful ham that everyone will love.
