Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 1157kcal
Ingredients
- 8-12 lbs. ham spiral sliced
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 2 tbsp. unsalted butter melted
- ½ tsp. orange zest
- 1 tbsp. orange juice
Orange Chipotle Glaze
- 3 tbsp. pan sauce
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 chipotle pepper smashed
- 2 tbsp. orange juice
- 2 tbsp. 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 the the oven and take the foil off. Brush the glaze all over the ham.
- 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 in between the slices if you can without ripping them off the ham.
- Use additional orange zest for a more intense orange flavor.
- For a 10 lbs. ham, I recommend cooking for about 120 minutes at 275 degrees for the perfect juicy ham.
- Cover the ham in foil to prevent it from drying out. I also recommend basting it every 30 minutes to keep it juicy.
- Use a turkey baster to extract pan drippings for the glaze.
- Using a chipotle infused honey adds a nice smoky pepper flavor to the ham.
- The chipotle pepper is optional if you prefer no spice.
