Ingredients
• 1, (10 lbs.) spiral sliced bone-in ham, (I used the hickory smoked flavored ham.)
• ¾ cup of honey
• 1 cup of light brown sugar (packed)
• ½ cup of pineapple juice (divided in half)
• 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2. Prepare the ham: Remove any packaging materials and discard the plastic disk covering the bone, if present. Place the ham cut side down in a large baking dish/roasting pan. Pour ¼ cup of pineapple juice in the baking dish/roasting pan, save the remaining half for the glaze.
3. Cover and bake: Loosely cover the ham with foil. Bake for approximately 2 hours for a 10 lb. ham, or until heated through. (Check package instructions for specifics.)
4. Make the glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add honey, brown sugar, the remaining ¼ cup of pineapple juice, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until everything is combined and the sugar is dissolved. On medium/low heat, simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
5. Glaze the ham: After the ham has heated for about 2 hours, remove it from the oven. Place the cooked ham on a baking rack (optional). Brush half of the glaze generously over the ham, making sure to get between the slices.
6. Finish baking: Return the ham to the oven, uncovered at 400°F (205°C). Bake for another 10 – 15 minutes, basting occasionally with the remaining glaze, until the ham is caramelized and golden.
7. Rest and serve: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 – 15 minutes before carving. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips for Success
• Use a roasting rack if possible, for more even heating.
• Baste frequently in the last 10 – 20 minutes for a beautiful, sticky glaze.
• Leftovers make excellent sandwiches, omelets, or can be added to soups and salads.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the honey glazed ham with classic sides like scalloped potatoes, roasted vegetables, green bean casserole, or a fresh salad. Pair with rolls and enjoy as the star of your holiday table!
