Baked Honey Mustard Ham

Submitted by WizzyTheStick

"Ham is one of the traditional meat dishes served in Trinidadian homes at Christmas time. Many people I know bake it on Christmas Eve and have it for breakfast with freshly baked bread and a condiment called Chow Chow (Picalli Sauce). You are also likely to be served thick slices of ham with Christmas meat pies known as Pastelles. This recipe is simplicity itself and it's how I bake my ham every year. Enjoy!"

This was a great ham recipe. I used an almost 9lb spiral sliced ham and twice the amount of glaze. I glazed the ham every 20 mins durring cooking and it turned out great.

Wonderful ham! I put my ham in the slow cooker on low for 7 hours. About an hour before serving I started basting the ham with the honey marinade. I used ground cloves, spicy brown mustard, and lemon juice instead of orange because I didnt have any in the fridge. Love the spicy sweet flavor with the ham, so good!

I used this recipe to bake my ham at xmas...not being a big ham eater, I was surprised at how yummy this was (even my hubby liked it!) Will certainly use this recipe again.

Very easy and very tasty (maybe a touch too sweet, but just a touch). I used orange juice and spicy brown mustard and followed the directions exactly. The cooking time was perfect. The meat was very moist. Thanks.

This is an easy and delicious way to prepare ham. I made this for Christmas Eve dinner and had slices with scrambled eggs and biscuits Christmas morning. I used pineapple juice and followed the directions. The timing for cooking was perfect. Made for 1st Annual Holiday Tag Game. Thanks for posting, I will be making this again.
