This brown sugar glazed ham is perfect for the Easter dinner menu. It’s so easy to prep and full of sweet and tangy flavor.
This is great for any time of the year, not just for special occasions! We make it year-round for sandwiches. It really is so much better than prepacked lunch meat. Make some homemade sandwich bread and you have the perfect leftover ham sandwich.
My husband keeps hinting that we need to purchase a meat slicer but I keep putting him off. I just can’t store one more small kitchen appliance.

How to Make a Bone-In Ham with Honey Baked Glaze
Preheat oven to 350ºF degrees. Line a roasting pan with foil. Then place a roasting rack inside of the pan.
Place the ham on the rack and with a sharp knife score the top in a diamond pattern.
Bake for about 1 1/2 hours. While cooking the ham prepare the glaze.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, whole grain mustard, and vinegar. There is no need to bring to boil.
We prefer the whole grain mustard over honey mustard or dijon mustard. The whole grain seems to give it more kick.
Remove ham from the oven. Cover the ham completely with the glaze and bake for another 30 minutes or when the internal temperature reaches 145ºF.
Our Bread Pudding is perfect for dessert!
Just look at that nice sweet and tangy crust on this brown sugar and mustard glazed ham!
Transfer the baked ham to a platter and let stand 15 minutes before carving.
You can also use the same brown sugar mustard glaze on a spiral cut ham.
Voila! Easy, right? This glazed ham recipe will be your go-to for Christmas dinner or any holiday occasion.

March 27, 2016I’m not a big fan of mustard, but my other half loves it (has it on everything), he is also a big ham fan. I think I’ll have to make him some of this as I think it would be right up his street.

March 28, 2016I have a ham in the freezer right now, just waiting for the right occasion. I think the occasion will be this glaze! Do I really need any other excuse?
I love the way this glaze caramelizes on the outside of the ham, that’s my favorite part! And the flavors sound fantastic on top of the ham. Thanks for sharing your secrets this looks incredible.

March 29, 2016My mom always buys a ham for Christmas and she always gets the brown sugar ham, which is my favorite! If I could manage to make it without screwing it up that would be AMAZING! I have actually never made a ham before. I might have to X the mustard because I don’t like it, but my husband does. Thanks for linking up with us at Friday Funday and please come back again next week!

December 14, 2016Dumb question – should I be using a bone-in or boneless ham? This looks terrific.
DSTR
December 15, 2016Hi Stephen, it’s not a dumb question at all! I use a bone in but you could certainly use boneless and maybe cut back on the cooking time. Thank you so much for coming by and have a blessed day.
Stephen
December 17, 2016Thanks so much, I will be making this for Christmas dinner this year.
