Honey Baked Ham

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

I've spent all afternoon preparing an Easter feast for the hubs and some friends.  I tried a new recipe for honey baked ham that is just as good as the ham you can buy from the honey baked ham company, and cheaper too!

Honey Baked Ham  




Ingredients

• 1 (5 lb.) ready-to-eat ham
• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup honey
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, honey, butter, and cloves over low heat.  Keep glaze warm while baking ham.
3. Place ham in a roaster pan lined with foil.  Brush glaze over ham and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  Baste ham every 10 minutes with the glaze.
4. During the last 5 minutes of baking, turn on broiler to carmelize the glaze.
5. Let ham rest 5-10 minutes before serving.

We also had mashed potatoes with toppings, green bean casserole, whole wheat yeast rolls, and homemade chocolate chip cookies.  Yum!
