Baked Ham With Brown Sugar Glaze

1 Mins read

This baked ham was meant to be the star of our New Year’s Eve dinner, but unfortunately, most of us fell ill from the day after Christmas until January 3rd. I first made this dish for a New Year’s party I hosted, using a Cook’s bone-in ham that I got for free during a Shoprite promotion. I was surprised by how delicious it turned out, and many of my guests loved it too.

Making your own baked ham can be more cost-effective than purchasing one from Honey Baked Ham, which can cost almost $40 for their smallest size of around 4 lbs. I purchased a 10 lb bone-in Smoked Half Shank from Shoprite for approximately $28.

To prepare the ham, remove the plastic wrapping and score it with a knife to create a diamond pattern. Then place it in a foil-lined roasting pan and bake it in a 325 F degree oven for 3 1/2 hours for a 10 lb ham or 10-15 minutes per lb.

While the ham is cooking, prepare the glaze by combining 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/3 -1/2 cup dijon mustard, 1/4 cup honey, and a splash of vinegar.

30 minutes before the ham is done, take it out of the oven and slather it with the glaze. Then increase the oven temperature to 400 F and continue cooking until a golden crust forms. This delicious baked ham is sure to impress your guests without breaking the bank.
