How to Make Easter Ham
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- If using a spiral-sliced ham, follow the package directions for cooking time. Adjust cooking time as needed based on ham weight. Note that spiral-sliced hams can be dry, so consider using a non-spiral ham if possible.
- For non-spiral-sliced hams: Place ham in a roasting pan. Add about 1 cup of water or ham stock to the bottom of the pan to prevent drying.
- Cook the ham for approximately 2-2.5 hours at 325°F (160°C), or until internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, increase oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the basting glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed) and 1 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Baste the ham generously with the orange-clove glaze every 10 minutes during the final 30 minutes of cooking.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15-20 minutes before carving.
- Carve and serve your Easter Ham with your favorite sides such as beans and potato salad.
