Baked Honey Ham
February 5, 2009 – 7:56 pmTonight’s dinner was a nice little locally produced honey ham (from Hempler’s Meats) baked in the oven and served with some roasted asparagus. I love the big bone-in hams, especially made with a variation of Nigella Lawson’s recipe for Ham in Cola, but with just the two of us, that makes rather too much.
Baked Honey Ham
Serves 4-6
1 small boneless honey ham, 2.5-3 pounds
½ cup water
¼ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the ham in a baking dish, cut side down. Pour about the water into the pan with it. Cover with foil. Bake for about two hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F. Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees. Mix together the honey and brown sugar and spoon it over the ham, covering the entire surface as much as possible. Return the ham to the oven for 10 minutes or until the glaze is starting to harden. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
