Orange Honey Glazed Spiral Sliced Ham

When it comes to menu planning for Easter, I want everything to be fresh tasting, pretty looking, and as simple as possible. This Orange Honey Glazed Spiral Sliced Ham recipe definitely tastes like springtime with its sweet, orange-honey flavors that contrast so well with the smoky, salty flavors of ham. It’s a refreshing change from the more common cinnamon notes of many ham glazes. And it’s super easy, requiring just five ingredients to take your ham from good to mouthwatering in just ten minutes.

Orange Honey Glazed Spiral sliced Ham

10-12 lb. spiral sliced ham

juice of two, large naval oranges

zest of one, large naval orange

2/3 c. honey

3/4 c. light brown sugar, packed

3/4 c. dark brown sugar, packed

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

Remove all outer packaging from ham, including the plastic plug on ham bone.* Place ham flat side down (so its slices are horizontal) in a large casserole pan. Cover completely and tightly with foil.

Bake for 12-15 minutes per pound.

Meanwhile, combine all remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over med. heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

When ham has finished cooking, uncover and tip ham upright in pan (so you can see all the sliced edges) and brush with warm glaze until it is as coated with glaze as desired. Return to oven, uncovered, and cook an additional 10 minutes.

Serves 10-12.

(recipe can easily be cut in half for a smaller ham)
