Mandi ShawIngredients
- 1 6-10 lbs bone-in shank side ham
- 1 cup orange marmalade
- 1/2 cup dijon mustard whole grain
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1/3 cup bourbon
- 3 tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- 1Heat oven or roaster to 325°F.
- 2Mix all the ingredients (besides the ham) in a small bowl.
- 3Remove ham from packaging, give a quick rinse, and place cut side down in roasting pan. Score ham in a criss-cross pattern all the way around. Brush with about 1/2 cup of the glaze. Cover loosely with foil.
- 4Bake for about 2-2 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F-135°F. Remove foil.
- 5Turn oven temperature up to 425°F and brush with glaze again. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, glazing ham every 6-7 minutes. Repeat the process about 3 times.
- 6Keep an eye on the ham to prevent the sugars in the glaze from burning. Aim for a deep mahogany color. Once cooking is finished, remove to a cutting board and tent with foil for 20 minutes before carving.

Open in Pepper →A Ham Feeds You All Week
A smoked ham does most of the work before it ever hits your oven. You're really just warming it through and building a glaze that sets into something sticky and dark around the edges.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when a holiday is coming, when family's driving in, or when they want one big Sunday dinner that turns into sandwiches and beans for days.
Every recipe here is a ham you can put on the table: Best Glazed Ham with orange marmalade and whole grain dijon, Brown Sugar & Mustard Glazed Ham, Pineapple Glazed Ham, Honey Glazed Ham Steaks for a fast night, Slow Cooker Glazed Ham with maple syrup, and Smoked Spiral Ham with Apple and Bacon Glaze.
Quick Tips
- 1
Warm it, don't cook it
A fully cooked ham only needs about 10 to 12 minutes per pound at 325°F, covered, until the center hits 140°F.
- 2
Glaze the last half hour
Brush on honey, brown sugar, or marmalade glaze in the final 20 to 30 minutes so the sugar caramelizes instead of scorching.
- 3
Add liquid to the pan
Pour 1 to 2 cups of pineapple juice, apple cider, or water in the bottom of the pan to keep the slices from drying out.
- 4
Rest before slicing
Let the ham sit 15 minutes out of the oven so the juices settle and the spiral slices pull away clean.
