You’ve just hit the holiday food jackpot with this baked glazed ham recipe.
It’s been in my family for generations; my grandfather was the first in my family to make it, and now we all do.
Holidays, like Thanksgiving, come and we skip the turkey altogether.
Glazed ham is not only what we want but also the food we look forward to the most!
I’m one of four kids, and my mother makes this ham for every family gathering. My siblings and I absolutely love it.
I started making this recipe too once I had kids and began hosting the holidays at my house.
I was blown away by how easy it was!
I just assumed it would be complicated, but it’s not at all!
Now my kids and nieces can enjoy this as the next generation.
I know if you try this baked glazed ham recipe, you’ll love it just as much too.

What kind of ham should I use?
Choosing the right kind of ham for this recipe can be overwhelming, given the many options available.
I prefer to use a bone-in shank, or the butt end if the shank is unavailable.
They are easy to slice and can feed a crowd easily.
You can also use a spiral ham, but keep in mind that they tend to dry out and cook faster. Therefore, be sure to keep the foil on it.

Instructions
First, remove the ham from its wrapper and trim some of the fat off.

Then, add half a cup of water to the pan and tent it with aluminum foil.
Next bake the ham at 325° for 2.5 hours.
Once the time is nearly up, start making the glaze. Heat brown sugar, maple syrup, and mustard in a small saucepan, whisking until the sugar is nice and smooth.
Now take the ham out of the oven, remove the aluminum foil, and score the top.
Then, increase the oven temperature to 400°F and pour half of the glaze over the ham. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Then pour the remaining glaze on top and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Finally, let the ham cool slightly and transfer it to a cutting board.
Slice and enjoy!
