How to Make Honey Baked Ham Copycat

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the 7-lb ham, cut-side down, in a large roasting pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup pear nectar and 1/2 cup orange juice.
  4. Bake the ham for 105 minutes (15 minutes per pound), basting frequently with the pear nectar and orange juice mixture. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the ham.
  5. While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup honey.
  6. After 105 minutes of baking, brush the glaze generously over the ham.
  7. Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 140°F (60°C).
  8. (Optional) For an extra-crispy glaze, use a kitchen torch to caramelize the glaze in the last few minutes of baking. Alternatively, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
