BAKED HAM

More often than not, most times we as a people try baking a ham for Christmas, they end up dried out on the inside without any flavour and a cause for major anxiety before guests arrive. This would have to be the WORST kind of ham.

Take out all the guess work out and find out how to bake a juicy ham with charred crispy edges and a beautiful sticky glaze… right here!

HAM GLAZE

The best glaze for a baked ham contain either honey, brown sugar or maple syrup. The saltiness from the ham and the sweetness for the glaze complement each other so well, that either of those ingredients make for a pretty special glaze.

The glaze I went for is a combination of butter, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard (adding a nice tang to the ham) and crushed garlic cloves.

From here you can add in spices like the traditional ground cinnamon and ground cloves, or leave them out. Most recipes call for decorating the ham with whole cloves between each cut. Personally, I didn’t appreciate chewing on the cloves that were wedged in and hidden from sight. However, you can add them if you wish!

HOW TO COOK A HAM

You only need 3 steps to make the perfect, heavenly ham recipe!

  • Remove rind –- so easy, you can peel it off!
  • Baste ham with a super easy Brown Sugar Ham Glaze
  • Bake, basting every 15 minutes!

WHAT IS THE BEST HAM TO BUY?

For ultimate flavour and a juicy result, aim for a fully cooked bone-in ham. The best ham we baked during testing is the half leg pictured (shank end of the leg).

The other type of ‘half leg’ which is the butt end (shaped like a dome) contains part of the hip bone and is harder to carve. It has less meat, although it’s very tender and flavourful.

If you want value for your money, go for the type I have pictured here.

Spiral cut hams seem to be gaining in popularity over in the United States, but unfortunately I can’t comment on them since we don’t have them.

TAKE THE RIND ON OR OFF?

For some reason, this is the most controversial step — taking the rind off. In testing with the rind still on, I found the rind became chewy and gummy as the ham cooled and tough to eat.

Also, the flavours of the glaze stopped at the rind with no flavours seeping into the fleshy part of the ham.

For this reason, I suggest trimming the rind off. Fully cooked ham rind DOES NOT crisp. We tried broiling, baking at high heat and deep frying.

HOW TO REMOVE HAM RIND

When you buy your ham, you’ll notice right underneath the rind there is a gorgeous layer off fat. DON’T trim this away. This fat turns into a beautiful crispy and sticky coating for your glaze and is DIVINE.

To show you, I’ve put together the following EASY steps OR CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELOW:

  1. Cut a line through the skin all around the shank end.
  2. Insert a sharp knife between the rind and fat and run it along to detach both layers.
  3. Using your fingers, gently separate the rind from the fat. You can insert your hand deeper into the ham to keep detaching it so it’s easier to peel the rind off in Step 4.
  4. Peel off and discard the rind.
  5. Run knife cutting into the fat layer about 1/4-inch deep to lightly score diamond pattern all over the surface.

Once your ham is in the oven, get started on your glaze.

TIPS FOR THE BEST HAM GLAZE

My biggest piece of advice is not to simmer the glaze for too long, as you will end up with a hard caramel once it begins to cool, and it’s extremely difficult to slather onto the outside of the ham when glazing. You want to bring it to a gentle simmer and take it off the heat quickly.

I added the pan juices from the ham into the glaze once there were pan juices to use, and WOW! Amazing flavours! My ham wasn’t salty though, so make sure you do some taste testing before adding the juices and add the amount you need to alter the flavour even more.

BASTE

Glaze and baste and baste and glaze and GO NUTS with it. The more the merrier, and ’tis the season, right?

I wish there was smell-ernet happening right about now, because juicy, tender Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Ham smells just as good as it looks.

The BEST part is slicing through it like butter, and seeing the juices burst out and run down behind each slice. NO DRY HAM OVER HERE!

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 1 hr 15 mins
Total: 1 hr 30 mins
Serves: 25 - 30 people

Ingredients

  • 8-10 pound (4-5 kg) bone-in fully cooked ham,
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, reduce fat or full fat
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F | 150°C and arrange a rack in the lower third. Remove any plastic packaging or netting from the ham. Trim away the rind and discard. Set the ham aside to rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
  • Line a baking tray or dish with several sheets of aluminium foil or parchment paper if you prefer (it will make cleanup a lot easier). 
  • Remove the rind or skin of the ham (refer to steps in post), ensuring you leave the fat on. Using a sharp knife score a 1-inch-wide diamond pattern (don’t cut more than 1/4 inch deep) over the entire ham. Place the ham in the baking tray; pour 1/3 cup of water into the base of the pan and cover the ham with two pieces of foil or parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a small pot or saucepan over medium heat until golden browned. Add in the brown sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon and cloves, stirring to mix together well until the brown sugar has completely dissolved, (about 2 minutes). 
  • Reduce heat to low and add in the garlic. Allow it to become fragrant, cooking for a further minute or two until the glaze just begins to simmer, then set it aside and let cool to lukewarm (the glaze should be the consistency of room-temperature honey).
  • After 30 minutes baking time, carefully remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 425°F | 220°C. Discard the foil or parchment paper and pour 1/3 of the glaze all over the ham, brushing in between the cuts to evenly cover. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, brush with another third of the glaze and some of the pan juices, and repeat again after 15 minutes more minutes of baking until a dark golden-brown crust has formed, (about 30 minutes total). For added depth of flavour, mix some of the ham pan juices together with the glaze in the pot which will help keep it runny enough for brushing. If your crust is still pink after there suggested baking time, turn on your broiler (or oven grill), and allow it to broil for 2-5 minutes, while keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn from the sugar. 
  • Let the ham rest 10-20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

If your glaze has been over simmered and begins to thicken between each baste, add some of the pan juices to it and heat it up over low heat until it warms through and is the consistency of warmed honey.

    I’m one who never leaves reviews but I have decided to start…. Wow… First time doing a glazed ham and this recipe was an absolute hit. Didn’t have any cinnamon (when does one EVER run out of cinnamon), but still was so delicious. Cooked the night before, then next morning warmed all the pre sliced pieces up along with the saved glaze. Covered up and warmed up for brekky. Will definitely give this another go next year.

    This will be my new standard for baking ham!!I never leave comments but got such rave reviews from my family about this ham. My son- please save this recipe and always use it. The only change I made was I didn’t have any Djon mustard so I substituted Spicy brown with a shake of dry mustard. Perfect ham!!

    Hi, I wanted to ask whether I can cut the ham into slices or cubes before baking? Then I add the glaze after a certain amount of time or do you think its better to do the entire half ham first?

    I used just a basic miniature ham so I halved the recipe. It was really good. It totally elevated a basic precooked ham. After the 2nd basting, I turned the temperature up to 450 since it was still pink looking. It browned nicely.

    Ham turned out GREAT. Followed the recipe and directions and it was amazing – whole family LOVED it. One question I have is on the cooking time. I had a 7.5 lb Cooked Ham and it took me closer to 1:45-2 hours to get it up to the recommend temp of 140. Not sure what I did different or how the cooking time in directions is only 1:15. This didn’t effect the outcome, just a little confusion is all. Either way, was GREAT. We saved all the glaze from the pan and used it as a sauce to pour over ham as desired.

    This recipe SAVED my Christmas. My first time ever making a ham this year for my fiance and little brothers while our mom was in the hospital through the holidays, and this recipe was on point. I have a little more faith in my cooking abilities now 😉 This ham truly was fantastic. I was looking for something a little more special than those basic pineapple & brown sugar hams I’d had growing up, and this was just what I was looking for. Thank you for an amazing recipe!

    Made this for Christmas dinner. I have eaten plenty of ham, but only made one once before in a slow cooker. It was dry and flavorless. This ham was easy to make and tasted amazing. The glaze was delicious. The garlic added an unexpected depth of flavor and when it baked, a nice crispy texture. Will definitely do it again!

    Hi Karina,

    OMGoodness! I tried the “Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Ham” recipe and it is by far the best ham I have ever made. It looks very nice (wish I could attach pics) and it did turn out to be tender and juicy. Oh my! The taste is remarkable! I do have a couple of comments. 1) Under ingredients, it said “1/2 cup water,” but in #3 under instructions, it said 1/3 cup of water. I used 1/2 cup. 2) #7 instructions were a little confusing. It appears that I was supposed to do 3 glazings and baking 15 minutes each at 425 Degrees Fahrenheit, especially since it stated to pour 1/3 of the glaze each time. But, then it says, “(about 30 minutes total), which would mean to bake 15 minutes twice instead of 3 times. I did glazed and baked 15 minutes 3 times using up the glaze I made. So, I believe baking with the glazing 3 times for a total of 45 minutes was the way I was supposed to do it.

    Thank you for sharing the ingredients, steps, and pictures of your recipe. I’m so glad I came across it. Merry Christmas!

    Jeannie

My mom is 85, and in great health, and she INSISTS on making the complete Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinners… sometimes she lets us do the desserts, and sometimes she does the pies….i think she’s proud of herself for the fact that she’s still able to do all of that, so we let her have her way…. we daughters do clean up duty, though, while she gets to sit back and rest after all of her much appreciated hard work!

    This recipe looks amazing. I plan to try it later this week with a whole bone-in ham, approximately 17 lbs. Any recommendations for how I should adjust cooking times and temperatures for a larger ham? I was considering lowering the oven temperature for the first step to 300 °F and increasing the time to 60 minutes, but keeping the second step temperature and times the same. Thoughts?

    Hi Karina! I wanted to comment on this soloecofic post bc I wanna day that before I learned about your website I was so over cooking. I hated it! I think it’s because I was never taught *how to* cook therefore I didn’t knot anything and it aggravated me go have to cook. Being married and having a 3 year old (and expecting baby #2 in a few weeks) I knew I wanted to change that. I wanted to be able to feed my family some make them something in my own kitchen from love to them.

    I found your website and I was like omg this breaks it down to the T! What ingredients I would need, step by step instructions, pictures, videos, etc. I no longer felt intimidated in the kitchen. Your website has allowed me to become confident with cooking and hence feed my family. My husband is so happy! Lol!!

    So yes, I would love to win the amazing giveaway you’re so generously hosting. But I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a while! Thank you!!! You do an amazing job with your website and just wanna let you know that you’ve really helped people like me who barely knew how to even navigate around a kitchen, now I’m a lot more confident with my cooking and it’s honestly because of this website!

    I spent my Christmas with my family at home, snuggled up watching Christmas movies. Our tradition is to stay up until midnight to open presents so we did that for my little one. I’m 3 weeks away from my due date with baby #2 so I wasn’t sure I was going to be up for cooking Christmas dinner, but I did! I made roasted chicken with garlic roasted baby potostoes and an avocado salad I found on your website. It was a smash hit!!!!

    I am from Germany and want to make my very first glazed ham for christmas this year, which is not really known here. My butcher only had an uncooked ham – how will I proceed with that? Can I just adjust the time in the oven? Should I put it in brine or rub with salt before? Thank you so much for the advice and this mouth-watering recipe, I’m so excited!

      Hi Andy! Bake a partially cooked ham for 20 minutes per pound all together. Cover it will foil and bake for an hour. Uncover, then glaze every 15 minutes until the internal temperature is 155°F to 160°F degrees. I hope that helps!

    How long should you cook a fully cooked bone in 14 pound ham before you start the glaze ?

      As you are cooking the ham you will start to make the glaze. Once the glaze is cooked and ready to cover the ham then add it to the ham at that time and finish baking. Hope your ham turns out moist and juicy! Sounds delicious!!

    OMG. Best. Ham. Ever. No joke. My family went NUTS over this ham! I followed your recipe to the letter using a 13 lb bone in picnic ham (I hate spiral hams since they are nowhere near as juicy) but I did mine on my Traeger electric smoker grill since it’s like having a true outdoor oven. Even though it’s April 1st, here in Phoenix it was 95 degrees outside so I didn’t have to heat up my kitchen! As my “kids” (24 and 28) we’re leaving they made me swear I would never loose the recipe! LOL Thanks so much for all your ham sacrifices to end up with perfection!

    This ham smells amazing. However, I used a 13 pound turkey. I’m cooking it longer, but it doesn’t seem to get above 80 on the thermometer. What temp does this one get to?

      You will want your ham at 170* when done. I am not sure why it is not reaching that temperature.

    I followed this recipe exactly, and it turned out amazingly. The best ham I have ever made. The glaze really doctored up the inexpensive ham shank that I bought!

    Hi Karina,
    I never leave messages on any website. However, I just has to come back and thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. I followed all of your instructions for prepping and cooking the ham. I made tHe glaze per the instructions but I omitted the cinnamon and cloves and substituted Gulden’s spicy mustard for the Dijon (I wanted a more savory glaze).

    This was the best ham I have ever made or tasted. It looked beautiful. All of my friends and neighbors can’t stop talking about how juicy and flavorful it is. I planned to make sandwiches with the leftovers but there aren’t any! Next time I’ll have to make two. Thanks a million!!!

    I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!!

      Hi Laura. You can actually cook it completely the day before and just warm it up the day of. You may need to make extra glaze (half the glaze recipe), just to serve it with.

    Woah your ham looks incredible. I never bake a ham at Christmas that’s always been my moms thing, but she passed away this year and it’s now up to me. I’m going to make this ham in her memory. Thank you karina. Your instructions are on point. I appreciate everything you do for us.
