Instructions:
- Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). While it warms up, place the ham (cut side down) onto a roasting pan.
- Crafting the Glaze: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend the brown sugar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard (if using), and your choice of pineapple or orange juice. Whisk until you get a smooth, thick consistency. If you’re looking for a little spice, add a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to enhance the flavor.
- Applying the Glaze: Gently brush the glaze over the ham, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered. Don’t rush this step; the glaze is where all the magic happens!
- Baking Time: Slide the glazed ham into the oven and let it bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Basting occasionally with the dripping juices will ensure a moist, flavorful ham.
- Rest and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the ham from the oven. Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This ensures all the juicy goodness is locked in.
- Dive into this divine dish and experience the perfect balance of savory ham with the sweet and sticky glaze. A sure-shot crowd-pleaser, this brown sugar-glazed oven-baked ham will turn any meal into a grand feast! 🍖🌟
