HOW TO COOK A HONEY BAKED HAM IN THE OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a large roasting pan. Cover pan with foil.  Bake ham until internal temperature reaches 120° to 130°, about 2 hours.  Meanwhile, make glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine preserves, bourbon, honey, cloves, and cayenne. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 10 minutes. Glaze will thicken as it cools.  After ham reaches at least 120°, remove from oven and remove foil. Brush with about half of the glaze, aiming between all the slices.  Place back in oven, uncovered for 15 minutes. Remove from oven once more and brush with remaining glaze all over top and between slices again.  Place back in oven and continue to cook until ham reaches an internal temperature of 145°, 15 to 20 minutes more. Let ham cool for 10 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. 
• In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, honey, orange zest, 1/4 cup orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, and nutmeg. Season with salt. 
• Roll out enough aluminum foil to surround the ham and place the ham in the center of the foil. Peel back the layers of the ham and place a sprig of thyme between every other layer of the spirals. Pour half of the glaze over the ham allowing it to sink into the slices. Tightly wrap the ham in the foil and place on a rack in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with an inch of water and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes per pound. 
• Pour the remaining half of the glaze in a small saucepot on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk until small bubbles appear all over, then turn off the heat. The glaze will thicken as it rests. 
• Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. 
• Remove the ham from the oven. Using caution and tongs to help, peel back the aluminum foil from the top, leaving the aluminum foil on the sides and underneath the ham to catch the glaze and juices. Slather the remaining glaze all over the top of the ham and place back in the oven uncovered for 15 more minutes. Remove and let rest before slicing.
