Copycat Honey Baked Ham

Preheat oven to 275 degrees; Adjust oven rack to the lowest position.

If ham is unsliced, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/8-inch deep.

Line a roasting pan with heavy duty foil and place ham cut side down.

In a bowl, combine butter and honey.

Brush ham with the butter honey mixture, making sure it gets into the scores and/or slices.

Lift up the foil to loosely cover the sides of the ham; Add additional foil to loosely cover the top.

Bake approximately 12-15 minutes per pound, or according to the package directions.

Ham is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F.

Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, ground ginger and cloves in a bowl.

Preheat broiler.

Remove the foil from the top of the ham and transfer any accumulated juices from the pan to a bowl.

Fold down the foil on the sides of the ham.

Pat half of the brown sugar seasoning mixture on the outside surface of the ham.

Broil ham until the sugar mixture starts to bubble and caramelize, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove ham from oven.

In a small sauce pan, add the remaining brown sugar spice mixture and 1/4 cup of the reserved juices and bring to a boil.

Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.

Pour the glaze over the outside of the ham and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully so it doesn’t burn.

Remove ham from oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
