Since I haven’t made a whole ham before, I can’t vouch for its taste or freshness if you do.
All components of the dry glaze (sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, paprika, and allspice) can be combined and stored in an airtight container.
STORAGE
Refrigerate leftovers in airtight jars for up to 4 days before eating. You can also freeze leftovers.
You’re bound to have plenty of ham left over, so here are some of my favorite ways to use it (besides the standard ham sandwich!).
- Chowder with Cheesy Ham in Slow Cooker
- Spinach Puff with Ham and Cheese
With Easter approaching, now is the best time to keep an eye on the cost of half a bone ham at your local supermarket. Grab one when you see it for sale! If necessary, they can be frozen. This way, you will be able to save even more money on your main course for the Christmas gathering!
What’s the best way to make Honey Baked Ham
Cover the entire ham (or portion to be used) and bake at 275 degrees F for about 10 minutes per pound if using a standard oven. Your HoneyBaked Ham will retain its flavor in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Check out our Food Preparation and Serving guide for complete prep and freezing instructions.
Is there a glaze in Honey Baked Ham
The best holiday ham you can buy is the Honey Baked Ham. Our ham is spirally sliced to the bone for a simple serving and made by hand with our sweet and crunchy glaze after smoking for up to 24 hours with our special combination of hardwood chips.
How do you prepare the glaze for Honey Baked Ham
This Honey Baked Ham glazing process is one of my favourites. The rich sauce is easy to make, and I love how it soaks into the cracks of the ham, resulting in a slightly crunchy golden crust. Here’s how you do it:
- In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, honey and all the good seasonings.
- Bring everything to a boil, just long enough for the sugar to dissolve.
- Spread most of the delicious sauce all over the ham using a basting brush, making sure to brush inside each slice.
- Then, around the middle of the roasting period, grease the ham again.
- Finally, bake the top of the ham in the oven to caramelize and season the sauce. It’s delicious!
How long can you store Honey Baked Ham in the refrigerator
We recommend removing the Ham or Turkey from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. If you prefer to keep your products refrigerated, Honey Baked Ham can be stored for 7 to 10 days and Honey Baked Turkey Breast for 5 to 7 days.
How to reheat pre-cooked Honey Baked Ham
Place the ham on a covered baking sheet. Warm for 10 minutes for every pound of body weight. (Do not increase the oven temperature or overheat). MICROWAVE: Remove the HoneyBaked Gold Foil and arrange the slices in a thinly covered microwave plate.
What’s the best way to reheat cooked ham without drying out
This ham is very cold, but the instructions for heating it are usually on the package. Place the cut ham side down on heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Alternatively, use an oven toaster bag and prepare according to the bag’s instructions. Bake for 10-14 minutes per pound in the preheated 325F oven, or until the meat thermometer reaches 135F. Before serving, remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes. If the ham came with an extra glaze, add it and cook according to package recommendations. Turn the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, brush the ham with the glaze, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the glaze is golden and bubbling. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
What’s the best way to reheat Honey-Baked Ham without drying it out
Follow these simple instructions for heating a whole ham in the oven:
- To prevent the Honey-Baked Ham from drying out, store it in its original foil wrapper or remove it and wrap it in your own foil.
- Maintain a temperature of 275 to 300 degrees in the oven.
- For every pound of ham, a general rule of thumb is to preheat for 10 minutes.
If you prefer to heat by slices, simply slice as much as you need, wrap in foil, or place on an ovenproof plate and cover with foil. Then cook the slices for no more than 15 minutes at the same temperature as before.
When baking ham, do you cover it with foil
Grilling ham is not as difficult as you might think. I simply put the ham in a roasting pan (or 913) and cover it with a cup of ginger beer and a cup of orange juice. This not only enhances the flavor of the ham, but also helps to keep it juicy as it cooks.
Wrap the foil around the ham or around the pan. Make sure the ham is tightly closed so it doesn’t dry out.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake the ham for 15-20 minutes, brushing halfway. When greasing the ham, open the lid, but close it again when you put it back in the oven.
What makes Honey Baked Ham so unique
Each Honey Baked Ham is preserved for up to 24 hours using a proprietary method that enhances the taste of the meat. Our ham weighs the same when it goes into the pickling process as it comes out because we don’t add any more water or juice. After the curing process, our ham is smoked for 24 hours with a special combination of hardwood chips, giving it the rich, smoked taste our customers love.
As a result of a precise and careful smoking process, and because our hams are smoked for at least twice as long as the industry standard, all Honey Baked Hams are deep mahogany and packed with an appetizing smoky flavour.
