The Best honey mustard glazed ham recipe
I have been making this honey mustard glazed ham for years and it is always a hit with my family. The sweet and tangy glaze creates a beautiful crust on the ham and the meat comes out so tender and juicy. My kids love the sticky sweet coating and it makes the whole house smell amazing while it bakes.
This recipe is perfect for Easter dinner or a holiday gathering but it works just as well for a Sunday supper. The ham is cured so it has less fat than fresh pork and the honey mustard glaze adds flavor without a lot of extra sugar. It is a crowd pleasing dish that feels special but does not require hours of complicated work.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Honey Mustard Glazed Ham
1. Can I use a bone in ham for this recipe?
Yes, a bone in ham works great. Just adjust the cooking time slightly as bone in hams may take a bit longer to heat through. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
2. How do I prevent the glaze from burning?
Keep an eye on the ham during the last 30 minutes of baking. If the glaze starts to darken too quickly, tent the ham loosely with foil. The sugar in the glaze can burn if left uncovered at high heat for too long.
3. Can I make the glaze ahead of time?
Absolutely. You can prepare the glaze up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat it gently on the stove before using and stir well.
4. What size ham should I buy for a crowd?
A 8 to 10 pound ham serves about 12 people with leftovers. Plan for about 3/4 pound per person if you want leftovers for sandwiches or soups.
5. How do I store leftover ham?
Wrap leftover ham tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze sliced ham in airtight bags for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
