Ingredients

Scale

Ham:

2 fully cooked bone-in spiral hams (8 lbs each)

2 oranges, sliced

2 cups orange juice

Orange Honey Glaze:

2 cups dark brown sugar

2 cups honey

1 cup orange marmalade

½ cup Dijon mustard

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cloves

1 tsp Bayou City Lemon Pepper (or use lemon zest + cracked pepper)

2 tsp salt

Twist 1: Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger for a bold zing

Twist 2: Stir in 1–2 tbsp bourbon or dark rum for a deeper flavor finish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place each ham in a large roasting pan lined with orange slices. Pour 1 cup orange juice over each. Cover loosely with foil.

Bake for 45 minutes.

While baking, combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.

Remove foil from hams. Baste generously with the glaze. Return to oven uncovered and bake for another 25–30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes until golden and caramelized.

Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with remaining glaze before serving.
