Honey-Glazed Ham Ingredients
You’ll need just five ingredients for this top-rated honey-glazed ham recipe:
- Ham: This recipe calls for one 5-pound ready-to-eat ham. If your ham is larger or smaller, you’ll need to adjust the recipe.
- Cloves: Aromatic whole cloves add warm, spicy-sweet flavor.
- Honey: Of course, you’ll need honey. Pro-tip: Spray your measuring cup with cooking spray so the honey slides out easily.
- Corn Syrup: Dark corn syrup adds more flavor and contributes to caramelization. Some reviewers suggest substituting brown sugar or using a combination of corn syrup and brown sugar.
- Butter: Butter adds and helps retain moisture, resulting in a juicy honey-baked ham that’s impossible to resist.
How to Make Honey-Glazed Ham
You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s what you can expect when you make this honey-glazed ham recipe:
Use a sharp knife to score the Ham (in other words, make criss-cross slashes). Stud the ham evenly with cloves. Heat the honey, corn syrup, and butter in a double boiler to make the glaze. Brush the glaze over the ham and bake in a foil-lined pan for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, brushing every 15 minutes or so with the glaze. Broil the ham for a few minutes before removing it from the oven.
