Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 10 pounds spiral-cut ham Perfectly pre-sliced for easy serving.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup light brown sugar Packed for rich sweetness.
  • ½ cup orange juice Provides citrusy brightness.
  • ¼ cup honey Key to the ham's charm.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warm notes.
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg Introduces subtle warmth.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves Delivers an aromatic kick.

Equipment

  • roasting pan
  • Small saucepan
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325℉. Remove any plastic disc on the cut side of the ham and place it cut side down in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil.
  2. Cook the ham for 10-14 minutes per pound until the internal temperature reaches 110℉, about 2 hours for a 10-pound ham.
  3. Whisk together the brown sugar, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small saucepan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the ham from the oven, uncover it, and generously brush the glaze over the ham. Return to the oven until the internal temperature reaches 145℉.
  5. Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
