Servings: 8
Calories: 419kcal
Ingredients
- 5 pound ham shank, pre-cooked
- ¼ cup (25.2 g) whole cloves*
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups (680 g) honey
- ⅔ cup (151 g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Score ham, and stud with the whole cloves. Place ham in a large foil-lined pan.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the brown sugar, honey, and butter. Keep glaze warm while baking the ham. (You can add more honey if desired.)
- Carefully brush glaze over ham. Tent the ham with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting the ham every 10 to 15 minutes with the honey glaze. (Be careful to pull the rack out fully so you don't have to reach into a hot oven.) I left one side of the foil less secured so that I could easily pull it back for basting.
- During the last 4-5 minutes of baking, remove the foil and turn the oven to the broil setting to caramelize the glaze. (The internal temperature should be 140°F.)
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
*You can use as little as 1 tablespoon of cloves. Some folks also omit them entirely.
