Fully cooked hams are quick and easy to bake. Choose one of three delicious glazes for a casual weeknight dinner or a small holiday dinner. Best of all, leftover ham can be used in so many other recipes. Which glaze will you try first?

How to Bake a Fully Cooked Ham with 3 Glazes

hot pepper jelly

Dijon mustard

Tbsp apple cider vinegar

preheat

Dish

Place fully cooked ham flat side down in an oven-proof dish large enough to fit  ham with some room to spare. Use glass, ceramic dish, oven-proof skillet or roasting pan.

Score

Score top of ham by making shallow cuts, 1 cm deep (1/4&quot;), through the outer rind both lengthwise and crosswise.

Glaze

Combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Spoon glaze over ham pushing some into the shallow cuts. Cover with lid or foil to keep ham moist during baking.

Bake

Bake for 20-25 minutes per half kg or one pound.* You&#39;ll know it&#39;s hot throughout when an internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F). Halfway through baking, baste ham by spooning the glaze around the ham over the top.

Rest

Remove the ham from oven and let rest for a few moments before slicing.

I used Chipotle Chili Powder and then I tried the hot Mexican Chili Powder...and it was meh. Go with Chipotle- you won't regret it.

Thanks for this delicious recipe! I just finished up 5 batches of these, packaged in mason jars with big red bows for lovely gifts. I also switched up one batch and substituted pumpkin pie spice for the chili powder - they were great too. Merry Christmas!

You"re right.  These are addictive.  Get them away from me!

Great sounding recipe.  I am going to have to try it for some gift giving this year.  I usually make some with butter, brown sugar &amp; cayenne, chili powder &amp; cinnamon.
Have you ever used honey instead of maple syrup in this recipe?
