Ingredients needed to make Honey Glazed Ham:
6 lb. cooked ham
2 cups honey
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2/3 cups butter
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/4 cup whole cloves
Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Line a roasting pan with foil and place the ham with the cut side down onto the pan. Score the outside of the ham with a sharp knife and place the whole cloves down into the scored areas.
Combine the honey, corn syrup, butter and pepper and heat the mixture until the butter melts. The mixture should have a smooth texture, stir constantly while heating to prevent sticking and scorching.
The honey glaze can be heated in a double boiler and be left on low heat to keep the mixture warm while the ham is baking.
Brush the entire ham with the honey mixture and cover with aluminum foil. Bake from 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting the ham with the honey glaze every 15 minutes.
The foil can be removed for the last 5 minutes of baking time to caramelize the glaze.
