Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the 7-pound spiral-cut fully cooked ham flat side down on a large roasting pan lined with foil.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/3 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground cloves until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Brush the ham generously with half of the honey mustard glaze, making sure to coat between the slices.
  4. Step 4: Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, basting every 20 minutes with the remaining glaze to create a sticky, caramelized coating.
  5. Step 5: Remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to thicken and edges to brown. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

How do I store leftover Sticky Honey and Dijon Glazed Spiral Ham?

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 honey from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sticky Honey and Dijon Glazed Spiral Ham?

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.

How do I scale Sticky Honey and Dijon Glazed Spiral Ham for a different number of people?
