Honey and Orange Baked Ham / Szynka Pieczona w Miodzie i Pomarańczach

This Baked Ham with Orange Honey Glaze will be a perfect centerpiece for any holiday dinner primarily Thanksgiving and Christmas. Juicy, tender ham baked in the oven and glazed with a wonderful orange glaze. The ham glaze is made with orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, honey, fresh orange zest and juice, and cinnamon.
When choosing ham, I prefer to go for the bone-in ham because it has a little more flavor and is actually more tender. That’s because it retains some of the fatty tissue around the bone. So for this recipe, I recommend the fully cooked, bone-in ham. Since the ham is already fully cooked, the goal is to simply re-heat it throughout.
When calculating bake time, estimate 15-20 minutes per pound for half ham that’s 5-8 lbs. Estimate 10-15 minutes per pound for whole ham that’s 10-14 lbs.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 Lbs. fully cooked, bone-in ham (may be spiral cut)
  • 8 oz. orange marmalade
  • 5 cloves garlic pressed
  • 4 Tbsp. Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Naval orange zest and juice
  • 1/4 cup whole cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Remove ham from the packaging and discard any glaze that came with it.
  • Score skin on the top and sides of the ham with a knife. Make cuts across the skin that are about 1/4-1/2 inch deep, forming diamond shapes or a crossing pattern. 
  • Insert whole cloves at the crossings.
  • Glaze: Combine ingredients for the glaze in a sauce pot and whisk until evenly combined. Bring the mixture to simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. Some of the liquid will cook off and the glaze will be thickened. Remove from heat.
  • Place ham on a couple of sheets of aluminum foil and glaze it all over with about half the glaze. Reserve remaining glaze for later.
  • Baked ham: Preheat oven to 325°. Place a rack inside a roasting pan and add a couple of cups of water to the bottom of the pan. Wrap ham tightly in foil and place on the rack inside the roasting pan (flat side down if using half ham). Bake for about an hour covered. Take ham out of the oven and open the foil. Raise oven temperature to 400°. Glaze the ham all over and put it back in the oven, uncovered, for about 20-30 more minutes. The internal temperature close to the bone should be 140° when it's ready.
  • Take out the ham and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Enjoy!
