This was such an easy to make a recipe that I ended up serving the first ham for dinner with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables!

Since the ingredients were also pretty inexpensive, I just cooked another one for my get-together. I made incredible sandwiches that my friends “destroyed” in a matter of minutes, and I can’t even tell you how many requests I got for the recipe! I think I need to start making out cards with the recipe on them to hand out 🙂

Ingredients

4-5 lb spiral sliced ham

3/4 cup Log Cabin maple syrup

1 cup Domino dark brown sugar

2 Tbsp Land O’ Lakes butter

1/4 cup pineapple juice

pineapple tidbits (optional for garnish)

2 tsp allspice OR 1/2 tsp each cloves-cinnamon-nutmeg

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 250 F and place the oven rack to lowest position.

For the glaze:

Combine syrup, brown sugar, butter, pineapple juice and spices in a small saucepan. Heat until the mixture becomes a smooth syrup, then remove from heat.

Remove 1/2 cup of syrup and set aside. Pour the remaining syrup over entire ham. You want to get it all over and in between slices. Wrap loosely in aluminum foil. Bake 10 minutes per pound or until ham registers 100 F on thermometer.

Open the foil wrap and roll down to expose ham. Baste with 1/3-1/2 juices. Increase the oven temperature to 350 F and put the ham back into oven, this time uncovered. (Place pineapple tidbits over ham if desired.)

Bake until glaze forms, approximately 10 minutes. Remove ham from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Quick tip: Instead of aluminum foil you could use an oven baking bag. Make several slits on top of the bag before placing the ham to the oven.
