Baked Ham with Maple Glaze
A centerpiece-worthy ham roasted with a sweet maple glaze. The caramelized crust contrasts perfectly with the juicy, savory meat inside, making it a favorite for holidays or special dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 (5 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard 1 tablespoon dry mustard
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Trim excess fat off the ham and score in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 inch apart. Place in a roasting pan.
- Roast for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard and mustard powder.
- When the 30 minutes are up, brush 1/3 of the glaze over the ham. Bake 20 minutes, and repeat twice with remaining glaze. Let the ham stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
