Baked ham with honey

7. 10. 2025

Even though the recipe’s name says honey, we recommend not using only honey but combining it with maple syrup and sugar. This will create a more balanced taste and make the glaze easier to work with.

Ingredients:

• approx. 9 pounds ham with bone
• 1/2 cup cane sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• whole cloves

Method:

1. Mix honey, sugar, maple syrup, and mustard in a bowl.
2. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
3. Preheat the oven to 338°F.
4. Run a sharp knife under the skin of the ham.
5. Carefully separate the skin in one piece by running your fingers between the skin and the fat.
6. Make diamond-shaped incisions about half a centimeter deep in the fat.
7. Insert a clove into the centers of these diamonds.
8. Transfer the ham to the transported baking dish and coat it with about a third of the glaze.
9. Bake in the oven on the lowest shelf for about an hour and a half.
10. In the meantime, brush twice more with the honey glaze.

Christmas baked ham tastes great with baked potatoes or mashed potatoes.
