Ingredients
- 8-12 pounds ham spiral sliced
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
Orange Chipotle Glaze
- 3 tablespoon pan sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 chipotle pepper smashed
- 2 tablespoon orange juice
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
- Combine the melted butter, honey, orange zest and orange juice in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the ham, getting in between the slices when you can.
- Cover the ham with foil and bake for about 12-15 minutes per pound. Remove from the oven and take the foil off. Baste it with the pan sauce every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
- Place it under the broiler until it is sizzling and the sugar starts to caramelize, about 5-10 minutes depending on your broiler. Make sure you watch it to ensure it doesn't burn.
Chipotle Orange Glaze:
- Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until simmering. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until mixture has become thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the chipotle pepper so only the glaze remains.
- To get the pan sauce, spoon it out of the roasting pan of the ham or use a turkey baster. I highly recommend using a turkey baster.
Notes
- Try to rub the orange honey butter mixture between the slices without tearing the ham.
- Add extra orange zest if you want a brighter citrus flavor.
- For a 10-pound ham, cook for about 120 minutes at 275°F for maximum juiciness.
- Keep the ham covered while baking and baste every 30 minutes to prevent drying.
- A turkey baster makes collecting pan drippings easy and mess-free.
- Hot honey adds an extra layer of flavor if you like more heat.
- Skip the chipotle pepper if you prefer a mild glaze.
