Holiday ham or lunch for the week. Either way this easy dutch oven spiral ham with homemade glaze will have your home smelling sweet and warm while your tastebuds applaud each flavor filled bite!
Place in the oven and bake for half of the allotted time (15 minutes per pound). Then remove from the oven and cover with tinfoil, and place back into the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.
While the ham cooks, make the glaze. Add all the ingredients to a saucepot and whisk over medium-low heat until combined.
20 minutes before the ham is fully cooked, remove from the oven. Using a turkey baster, remove as much liquid as you can and dispose of it. Using a pastry brush, pour or brush the glaze onto the ham and coat completely. Return to the oven for the final 20 minutes to seal the glaze. Remove from the oven again and let the ham rest in the dutch oven for 15-20 minutes. Cut and serve.
A serving of ham is 6 ounces per person. This recipe for the 9 pound ham will serve approximately 22 according to serving sizes. However, this includes the bone weight as well as the assumption that you and your guests can keep yourselves limited to just one slice. I know I cant!
