Why This Recipe Stands Out

This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The honey glaze adds a lovely caramelized touch that enhances the natural juiciness of the meat. It’s simple to prepare but feels special enough for any occasion.

Expert Cooking Tips

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham reaches the proper internal temperature without overcooking.
- Brush the honey glaze on during the last 20 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- Let the meat rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.

Step 1

Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the ham and carefully score the surface by making shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern, creating diamond shapes all over. Pop the ham into a roasting pan.

Step 2

Melt some butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in honey, brown sugar, red wine, and a pinch of black pepper. Let this mixture simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a nice glaze. Brush a good layer of the glaze all over the ham, but save some for later.

Step 3

Place the ham in the oven and roast it, checking every 10 minutes to brush on more glaze. Keep going until the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C), which should take around 30 to 45 minutes. Once it’s done, take it out and let it rest a bit before slicing and serving.

Simple Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or creamy risotto also make excellent sides. A glass of crisp white wine complements the sweetness beautifully.

How To Freeze This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain moisture. You can also freeze slices for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
