Description

Nona's orange-glazed Easter ham recipe combines dry mustard, brown sugar, and orange juice to create a sweet and tangy glaze for bone-in, smoked ham.

Ingredients

1 (8 pound) bone-in smoked ham
2 oranges, juiced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon whole cloves, or as needed

Directions

1 Place ham in a large pot; cover with water. Soak in the refrigerator to remove salt, 8 hours to overnight.
2 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.
3 Combine orange juice, brown sugar, and dry mustard in a small bowl.
4 Drain ham; pat dry. Place ham in the prepared roasting pan. Score outside of ham in a diagonal pattern; coat with orange juice mixture. Insert cloves at cross marks.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and glaze is well browned, about 2 hours. Rest before carving, 20 to 30 minutes.
