A delightful and flavorful spiral ham recipe with a honey mustard glaze, perfect for gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the spiral cut ham in an oven bag inside a roasting pan.
Using an oven bag helps retain moisture and prevents mess.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, mustard, orange juice, and ground cloves. Heat over medium heat until well mixed.
Stir continuously to prevent the glaze from sticking to the pan.
Pour half of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Use a basting brush for even application.
Seal the oven bag and cut small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
This step prevents the bag from bursting during cooking.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting with the remaining glaze halfway through.
Basting ensures the ham stays moist and flavorful.
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham tender.
