Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place the ham cut-side down in a roasting pan.
- Add approximately 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the pan.
- Cover loosely with foil.
- Bake according to the ham’s package instructions, generally approximately 10 to 15 minutes per pound for a fully cooked ham.
- Meanwhile, combine the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan.
- Cook over low to medium heat for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- When the ham is nearly fully heated, remove it from the oven.
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
- Remove foil.
- Brush approximately half of the glaze over the ham, working some between the spiral slices.
- Return ham to the oven uncovered for approximately 10 minutes.
- Brush with remaining glaze.
- Continue roasting another 10 to 15 minutes, watching carefully, until glossy and lightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven.
- Rest approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Use a fully cooked spiral ham for easiest preparation.
Check the label for added sugars if you are closely tracking carbohydrates.
Discard any glaze packet included with the ham.
Brown sugar-style keto sweetener works better than plain granulated sweetener for holiday glaze flavor.
Avoid overheating the glaze because some sugar substitutes can crystallize.
Keep the ham covered for most of reheating to prevent it from drying out.
Brush the glaze on near the end of cooking.
Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for approximately 3 to 4 days.
Nutrition will vary significantly depending on the brand and curing method of the ham.
