The Easiest, Yummiest Glazed Ham

Say hello to my ideal glazed ham recipe. ♡

I admittedly find most glazed hams to be overly sweet, so this version strikes more of my ideal sweet and savory balance. The glaze starts with a classic brown sugar and honey base for that rich caramelization we all love, then adds in extra layers of savory flavor orange and lemon juice, whole-grain Dijon, soy sauce, garlic, and thyme. The result is a glaze that’s layered and flavorful, without tipping into sugar overload — a perfect complement to good ham!

And since you’re starting with a fully cooked spiral-cut ham, the process for this recipe couldn’t be easier. It’s really just a matter of gently warming the ham, basting generously, and letting the oven do the heavy lifting while your kitchen fills with the coziest holiday aroma.

It’s honestly one of the easiest main dishes I know, and it’s always such a showstopper. So the next time you want to make some baked ham, I highly recommend giving it a try!
