Easter Ham

One of my favorite holiday meals is honey, brown sugar ham. I go all the way with this ham recipe, and it is one of my families favorites. I make this at least 4 times a year and it is always such a hit that nothing is left over! Although I call it Easter Ham it is of course great is for Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other time you are craving this wonderful comfort staple!


Easter Ham
1- 9 pound bone in spiral ham


Glaze
1 1/2 cups maple sugar
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg


1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Place ham in roasting pan and pour about 1 cup water in the bottom, cover tightly with tin foil and bake covered for 1 hour and 40 minutes until heated throughout and tender.
3. Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer, simmer for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
4. Now this is key, remove ham and take off tin foil, ever-so-easily separate the layers while using a suction to pour the glaze in between the layers. After the glaze is spread thickly into the spiral pieces pour and brush the remainder of the glaze over the ham.
5. Raise temperature to 400. Return the ham to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, remove and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.


Enjoy!!!!!!
