Honey Butter Ham is the recipe my mom used whenever we'd have ham when I was little. I did add some Dijon mustard to the basic recipe to give it a little bit of a kick.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- whole cloves
- 3-5 pound half ham, fully cooked
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt butter in small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in honey, brown sugar, and mustard until smooth; set aside.
Place ham in roasting pan. Score the top surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making the cuts about 3/4" apart. Push a whole clove, point side down, into the center of each diamond in the ham.
Spoon half of the butter mixture over the ham. Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then spoon over the rest of the butter mixture. Roast for another 20 minutes, then baste the ham with the pan drippings.
Roast for another 25-35 minutes, or about 20 minutes per pound, until the ham is hot and glazed. Slice thinly to serve. Serves 6-8
