From the farm kitchen…
There’s something truly special about cooking with ingredients direct from the farm. This glazed smoked ham has been a standout at our family gathering, and I’m excited to share it with you. The sweet glaze—made with honey, brown sugar, and a touch of mustard—pairs perfectly with the smoky richness of the ham, creating a dish that’s both comforting and full of flavor. Whether it’s a holiday feast or a simple Sunday dinner, this recipe always brings a little extra warmth to the table. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Ingredients:
For the Ham:
1 LT Farm Meats smoked ham, thawed
½ cup water
For the Glaze:
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
2 tbsp mustard (Dijon or yellow)
¼ cup butter
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
4 garlic cloves, smashed
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare the Ham:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the ham from its wrapping and place it in a shallow baking pan.
Score the fat on the top of the ham in a cross-hatch pattern using a sharp knife. This will help the glaze stick.
Add ½ cup of water to the pan and cover the ham tightly with aluminum foil.
2. Bake the Ham:
Bake the ham for 18–24 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
3. Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, mustard, butter, cinnamon, ground cloves, and smashed garlic cloves.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar has melted and all the ingredients are combined.
4. Glaze and Crisp:
Once the ham is done baking, remove it from the oven and baste generously with the glaze.
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, for 5–10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Repeat the basting and crisping process 2–3 times, being careful not to let the glaze burn.
5. Serve:
Slice the ham and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
Serving Suggestion:
For a hearty, farm-to-table meal, pair this glazed ham with roasted sweet potatoes, beets, and green beans. You’ll enjoy the wholesome, fresh flavors of home-grown ingredients with every bite!
Notes: LT Farm Meats' smoked hams are a great choice for this recipe, as they already have a delicious smoky flavor. This simple yet flavorful glaze enhances the ham without overpowering it. Enjoy a truly comforting, home-cooked meal!
