Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Remove packaging, rinse the ham, and pat dry.

3. Score the ham in a diamond pattern about ½ inch deep.

4. Optional: Stud the intersections with cloves for a classic look and flavor.

---

2. Make the Honey Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, mustard, juice, vinegar, cinnamon, and cloves.

2. Heat gently over medium-low heat until smooth and slightly thickened.

3. Set aside.

---

3. Bake the Ham

1. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Add ½ inch of water to the pan to keep it moist.

2. Cover loosely with aluminum foil.

3. Bake for 15–18 minutes per pound, until internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) for pre-cooked ham.

---

4. Glaze and Caramelize

1. During the last 30–45 minutes of baking, brush the glaze generously over the ham every 10–15 minutes.

---

5. Prepare Sides While Ham Bakes

• Roasted Vegetables: Toss carrots, sweet potatoes, or Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of brown sugar. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes.

• Green Beans Almondine: Sauté green beans with butter, garlic, and sliced almonds until tender-crisp.

3. Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and green beans for a complete, picture-perfect honey-glazed baked ham dinner.

Pro Tips

• Extra Moist Ham: Place a few slices of pineapple or orange under the ham while baking; it adds moisture and sweetness.

• Make-Ahead Glaze: Prepare the glaze a day ahead; flavors intensify overnight.

• Gourmet Touch: Brush with a mixture of honey and bourbon during the last 15 minutes for a subtle smoky-sweet finish.

---

This dinner is sweet, savory, and beautifully caramelized, perfect for holiday feasts or elegant Sunday dinners.

OTHER RECIPES

Ingredients

• 18 to 20-pound smoked ham, water added, ham hock removed
• One 16-ounce box light brown sugar
• 1 cup (8-ounce jar) clover honey

Directions

Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Unwrap the ham and rinse it in cold water. 

Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. 

Cover the pan with the lid and bake for half the estimated cooking time (Total cooking time is about 20 minutes per pound.) 

Halfway through the estimated cooking time, add the sugar and honey to a saucepan, cooking over medium heat until smooth and sugar is dissolved. 

Pour the mixture over the ham and continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings in the roaster.
Check for doneness at the end of the estimated cooking time by inserting a meat thermometer at a meaty point (not into fat or touching the bone). 

It should register 160 degrees F.
Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set.

GENUINE VIRGINIA BAKED HAM

GENUINE VIRGINIA BAKED HAM RECIPE

Ingredients

• 1 fully cooked, bone-in Virginia ham (about 8–10 pounds)

• Whole cloves (optional, for studding)

Glaze

• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark, depending on preference)

• ½ cup honey or maple syrup

• ¼ cup Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard for milder taste)

• ¼ cup apple cider or orange juice

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (optional, adds tang)

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Remove any packaging and rinse the ham under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

3. Score the ham in a diamond pattern (about ½ inch deep) on the fat side. This allows the glaze to penetrate.

4. Optional: Stud the intersections of the diamond cuts with whole cloves for traditional flavor and presentation.

---

2. Make the Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, mustard, apple cider (or orange juice), and optional spices.

2. Heat over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

---

3. Bake the Ham

1. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Add ½ inch of water to the bottom of the pan to keep it moist.

2. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.

3. Bake for 15–18 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) for pre-cooked ham.

---

4. Glaze and Brown

1. During the last 30–45 minutes of baking, brush the glaze generously over the ham every 10–15 minutes.

2. Remove foil in the last 15 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and form a shiny, golden-brown crust.

---

5. Rest and Serve

1. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing.

2. Serve with remaining glaze or pan juices.

---

Tips for Maximum Flavor

• Basting: The key to authentic Virginia ham is repeated glazing to get a sticky, sweet, and slightly tangy exterior.

• Temperature: Avoid overheating; fully cooked hams are already safe, and high heat can dry them out.

• Flavor Boost: Add a splash of bourbon or dark rum to the glaze for a richer, deeper flavor.

• Leftovers: Virginia ham keeps well—store slices in the fridge and reheat gently with a little glaze or juices.

---

This method produces a moist, flavorful, and beautifully caramelized ham that is perfect for holidays, Sunday dinners, or special occasions.

GENUINE VIRGINIA BAKED HAM RECIPE

Ingredients

For the Ham

• 1 fully cooked Virginia-style country ham or city ham (8–10 lbs)

• Whole cloves (optional)

• Water for soaking (if using a saltier country ham)

For the Glaze (Traditional Virginia Style)

• ½ cup brown sugar

• ½ cup honey or molasses

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp dry mustard

• 2 tbsp butter

• Optional: a splash of apple cider, pineapple juice, or bourbon

---

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ham

If using a true Virginia country ham (salt-cured):

• Scrub ham under cold water.

• Place in a large pot, cover with water, and soak 12–24 hours, changing water once.

• This reduces salt and tenderizes.

If using a city ham (milder, pre-cooked):

• No soaking required.

---

2. Preheat Oven

• Heat to 160°C / 325°F.

---

3. Bake the Ham (Traditional Slow Method)

• Place ham fat side up in a large roasting pan.

• Add 1–2 cups water to keep it moist.

• Cover tightly with heavy foil.

Bake:

• Country ham: 18–20 minutes per pound

• City ham: 12–15 minutes per pound

This stage simply heats gently and keeps the meat tender.

---

4. Prepare the Glaze

In a saucepan, combine:

• Brown sugar

• Honey or molasses

• Butter

• Vinegar

• Dry mustard

Simmer 3 minutes until smooth and glossy.

---

5. Score, Clove, and Glaze

• Remove ham from oven and peel off the skin (leave a layer of fat).

• Score fat in a diamond pattern.

• Press 1 clove into each diamond (optional but traditional).

• Brush generously with glaze.

---

6. Finish Baking

Return to the oven uncovered for:

• 20–30 minutes, basting once, until the glaze is caramelized and shiny.

For a deeper crust, broil 1–2 minutes, watching carefully.

---

7. Rest & Serve

• Let ham rest 15–20 minutes before slicing.

• Slice thinly — Virginia ham is rich and flavorful, best served in thin ribbons.

---

Serving Suggestions (True Virginia Style)

• Serve with biscuits, mustard, chutney, or red-eye gravy.

• Also perfect with collard greens, spoonbread, or candied yams.
