Make this Brown Sugar Glazed Ham the star of your family dinner. The Brown Sugar Glaze is made with granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, ground cloves, and honey. The ground cloves bring in a warm, slightly spicy note, while a drizzle of honey adds a touch of floral sweetness. Next, more brown sugar and Italian dressing are mixed in to create a super indulgent, sticky, and delicious glaze. Adding a bit of Italian dressing might sound a bit out there, but it actually balances out the sweetness and gives the ham a nice tangy kick. During the last hour of roasting, the ham is basted with the glaze, which helps create a beautiful crust as it caramelizes in the oven. When you slice into this Brown Sugar Glazed Ham, you'll get a little bit of everything: the salty, juicy meat; the sweet, sticky, caramelized glaze; and the tangy, bright burst from the pineapple. It's like a holiday feast in every bite!

Ingredients
Brown Sugar Glaze
- 1/4 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1/4 cup Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar OR 1/4 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 pound Imperial Sugar Dark Brown Sugar OR 1 pound Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar

Ham
- 1 medium whole ham (12-14 lbs), precooked variety*
Garnish
- Pineapple slices
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Unwrap ham and rinse under cold water; pat dry. Score the ham's skin about 1 inch deep vertically and diagonally every 2 inches to create a criss-cross pattern to allow glaze to soak in.
- Place ham, fat side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan large enough to comfortably hold ham. Tent ham with foil and place it in the middle of a preheated oven. General baking time guidelines are listed below. Ham should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- About an hour and a half before ham is done, prepare glaze. Mix granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, cloves, and honey until combined.
- Add mixture to a saucepan over low heat and add second-listed brown sugar and Italian dressing. Mix until sugar has dissolved.
- During last hour of roasting, remove foil tent and pour brown sugar glaze over ham, basting every 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with greenery and pineapples, if desired.

I have not yet made this recipe; however, when we are released from this coronavirus, I hope to get released to start my food shopping! But this is an interesting water-mouthing ham! Thanks for sharing.
You show 2 sets of ingredients and one directions. The directions don't mention the use of the Italian dressing. I just thought I'd mention.
I'd go 375F for 2-21/2 hrs, and and I also wouldn't add any glaze until the last 90 minutes (uncovered) spooning or 'painting' the glaze on the meat every 15 min. Raising the temp the last 20 min to 450F.
