Directions

  1. Combine sugar and water in a bowl and stir to dissolve sugar.

  2. Slice ham just shy of the bone into 1/2- to 1-inch slices. Place ham into the water and sugar solution, add more water, so ham is completely covered with liquid. Seal with plastic wrap and let soak in the refrigerator for a minimum of 48 hours.

  3. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

  4. Combine honey and orange juice in a bowl. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil.

  5. Drain the ham slices, pat dry, and place in the roasting pan. Wrap aluminum foil around the bottom of the ham and pour 1/2 the orange juice mixture over the ham. Wrap ham completely in foil.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven, basting with the remaining orange juice mixture, until a sticky, browned glaze forms, 3 to 4 hours.

Recipe Yield

1 8-pound ham

Recipe Note

This recipe produces a nice, sweet, glazed honey-baked ham;the soaking reduces some of the salt from the ham.
