Recipe View Generously brush the apricot-brown sugar glaze all over the ham, ensuring it seeps into the spiral cuts. Reserve any leftover glaze for basting. Carefully enclose the ham in the foil, creating a sealed packet, and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 2 hours, or about 14 minutes per pound if you have a different sized ham. Twenty minutes before the end of the cooking time, open the foil packet and brush the ham with the remaining glaze. Return to the oven, uncovered, to allow the glaze to caramelize beautifully. (2 hours)

05 Step

Recipe View Once the ham is heated through and the glaze is deeply caramelized, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful ham. (15 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or Dijon mustard to the glaze.
If the glaze starts to darken too quickly during the final 20 minutes, loosely tent the ham with foil.
Leftover ham is fantastic in sandwiches, salads, or even diced into omelets.
