| Yield: | 1 whole glazed ham |
Ingredients
- 1 (5 pound) boneless fully cooked ham
- ¼ cup honey, warmed
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup prepared horseradish
- ¼ cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cut ham into 1/4-inch thick slices and tie slices back together in shape of original ham, using kitchen string. Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan.
- Stir honey and cloves together in a bowl and drizzle honey mixture over ham.
- Bake ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting often with pan drippings.
- Mix brown sugar, horseradish, and lemon juice together in a bowl. Baste ham with horseradish glaze, allowing glaze to drip between slices.
- Continue baking until glaze has set, ham has browned, and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the sliced ham reads at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 25 to 30 more minutes.

Reviews
At first, I was starting to doubt this recipe but when the ham was complete, I was pleasantly surprised! It’s not to sweet and not a whole lot of spice. It was also good even for leftovers.
Loved the tangy horseradish in this. I used a kurabota ham from Snake River Farms…so tender and delicious!
