Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked carver ham (boneless ham), about 2.5 pounds
  • 2 small oranges, sliced to go under the ham
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice from about 2 small oranges
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange zest zest before juicing and avoid the pith
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon stone-ground mustard or Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch cinnamon optional
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the four small oranges. Slice two of them. Then, zest one of the remaining whole oranges and juice them both.
  • Line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange the orange slices in a single layer.
  • If your ham has a layer of fat on top, you can trim it off before scoring. This helps the glaze stick better and more evenly infuses the ham with flavor.
  • Using a sharp knife, lightly score the top of the ham in a crisscross diamond pattern, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. It will help the glaze penetrate and give the ham a classic glazed look.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice, honey, apple cider vinegar, stone-ground mustard, orange zest, garlic powder, optional cinnamon, and salt.
  • Let the glaze simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Place the scored ham with the flat side down on top of the orange slices. Then spoon half of the glaze over the ham.
  • Thoroughly cover with foil and bake the ham at 325°F for 15-20 minutes, until heated through or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F.
  • Remove the foil and spoon the rest of the glaze over the ham. Then, bake the ham for 5-10 more minutes. If desired, broil the ham for 2-3 minutes for a beautiful caramelized finish, just keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
  • Let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Fresh Herbs: A few sprigs of rosemary or thyme tucked under or around the orange slices will infuse subtle earthy notes that pair beautifully with honey and citrus.
  • Don’t Over-Cook: Since the ham is already fully cooked, you don’t need to roast it for too long. Bake it until just heated through, until the thermometer reads 140°F.
  • Cover With Foil: Cover the ham with foil while it bakes to lock in moisture. Remove the foil during the last 5-10 minutes for a caramelized finish, but don’t leave it uncovered too long or it may dry out.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Or, you can freeze slices in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
