- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Place 4 lb bone-in ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Score ham surface in a diamond pattern with a knife.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep bone-in ham from drying out.
Can I substitute ingredients in Honey-Glazed Ham with Apple and Mustard?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
