Make the holiday feel extra-special by adding an extra dose of "WOW!" to your holiday ham this year. Our Brown Sugar-Glazed Ham has a caramelized crispy glaze that goes perfectly with the saltiness of the ham. This easy ham recipe is gourmet-store, fancy-schmancy without the costly price tag!

Serves: 10

Cooking Time: 1 hr 35 min

What You'll Need:

1 (5- to 6-pound) fully-cooked semi-boneless ham
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

What To Do:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil. Using a sharp knife, score top of ham in a crisscross pattern. Place ham in pan.

2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine remaining ingredients and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until melted and smooth. Brush 1/3 of glaze over ham.

3. Bake 1-1/2 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of ham registers 140 degrees. Baste ham with remaining glaze every 30 minutes during cooking.

4. Remove ham from oven and let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or cold.
