Bee-Sting Glazed Ham

Patricia @ ButterYum

I enjoy a standard glazed ham as much as the next person, but a friend shared this wonderful Bee-Sting Glaze recipe with me and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. As the name implies, this glaze offers a little “sting” thanks to honey and a touch of cayenne pepper. But fear not, the heat is gentle. Even guests who are opposed to spicy foods will enjoy this tasty ham recipe.

Bee-Sting Glazed Ham

makes about 20 servings

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 pound fully cooked, bone-in smoked half ham

  • 1 cup honey

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • zest of one lemon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in lower center position.

  2. Place ham, cut side down, in a large roasting pan; score the fat side of the ham in a diamond pattern as shown in the photo above.

  3. Pour 1/2 cup water around the ham and and cover the roasting pan well with foil; bake for 1 hour.

  4. In a medium saucepan over medium, heat the honey, brown sugar, ginger, cayenne, cloves, and black pepper together, whisking frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved; remove from heat and allow to cool before stirring in the lemon zest.

  5. Remove foil from ham and continue baking; brush generously with glaze every 10 minutes, for a total of 50-60 minutes (total cooking time should be about 2 hours).

  6. If there is any leftover glaze, stir it into the strained pan drippings and serve with the ham.

Note

  • For easy cleanup, use a disposable roasting pan. Be sure to place it on a half sheet pan so you can move it in and out of the oven easily without it collapsing.
