Equipment
- Basting brush
Ingredients
- 6-9 pound spiral sliced ham
- 1 cup apple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the apple juice, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
- Bring to a bubble and reduce heat to medium low.
- Reduce mixture until it is thickened and glazy, about 10-15 minutes.
- Place your ham into a baking dish, fatty side up and pour any liquids from the packaging on top of the ham. Coat it with half of the glaze mixture.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake in the center of your oven for 1 ½ to 2 hours until a thermometer inserted at the thickest part reads 140 degrees F.
- Carefully remove the foil and pour the rest of the glaze over the ham.
- Put under the broiler in your stove for about 5-7 minutes, watching closely. You want the sugar to caramelize, not burn.
- Serve!
Notes
- Servings are estimated using 3/4 to 1 pound per person for a bone-in ham.
