Ingredients

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 275 F (135 C).

2. 2

   Unpack the spiral-sliced ham, discarding the included glaze packet. Place the ham flat-side down on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan.

3. 3

   Pour 1 cup of orange juice into the bottom of the roasting pan.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Mix in 4 tablespoons of hot honey. Brush this mixture all over the ham, making sure to get it in between the slices.

5. 5

   Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil. Bake at 275 F for 10-12 minutes per pound of ham. (For an 11 lb ham, this is approximately 90 minutes).

6. 6

   While the ham bakes, prepare the sugar crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, sweet paprika, and allspice. Mix until well combined.

7. 7

   Once the initial baking time is complete, remove the ham from the oven and set the oven to broil on high.

8. 8

   Reserve 3 tablespoons of the ham drippings from the bottom of the pan and set aside for the glaze.

9. 9

   Pat half of the sugar and spice mixture all over the surface of the ham, working it into the crevices.

10. 10

    Place the ham back in the oven, uncovered, and broil on high for 5 minutes, or until the sugar crust is bubbly and crispy. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

11. 11

    While the ham is broiling, prepare the final glaze. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the reserved 3 tablespoons of ham drippings, the remaining half of the sugar mixture, the apple cider vinegar, and the Dijon mustard.

12. 12

    Bring the glaze to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, immediately remove it from the heat.

13. 13

    Remove the ham from the oven after the first broil. Drizzle the hot glaze all over the ham.

14. 14

    Return the glazed ham to the oven and broil on high for a final 2-3 minutes until the glaze is caramelized.

15. 15

    Let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
