This delicious honey glazed ham is great for a crowd. The simple spice rub and honey glaze is all it takes to make a perfect roasted ham for the holidays or a family dinner!
Heat oven to 325ºF. Score fat rind on ham at 1-inch intervals with a knife. Skip scoring if ham is spiral-cut. Place ham, scored-side up, in a roasting pan. Place 1 cup water in the bottom of the pan.
Combine black pepper, garlic powder and mustard powder in a small bowl and then rub all over the surface of the ham. Tent ham with foil and roast for 1½ hours.
Combine honey, cinnamon and ground cloves. Remove foil from ham and drizzle or brush honey over the ham. Continue roasting, uncovered for 30 minutes to caramelize the outside.
Remove ham from oven and let rest 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to carve or present on a platter, garnished with herbs and fresh fruit if desired.
Serve any juices from pan, in a bowl on the side, if desired.
Notes
You can use a spiral-cut, bone-in ham for this recipe as well. Skip the step of scoring the outside and cook as directed in the recipe.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
