Ham is a classic holiday dish, but it can be tricky to get it just right. The meat can be dry and tough, and the glaze can be too sweet or too bland. But with this easy recipe, you can make a delicious and flavorful ham that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (7- to 10-pound) spiral-sliced, bone-in ham

  • 1/2 cup Dr. Pepper

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Place the ham in a roasting pan.

  3. In a small saucepan, combine the Dr. Pepper, brown sugar, and mustard.

  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Brush the glaze over the ham.

  7. Bake for 1 hour, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is bubbly.

  8. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.


  • For a more flavorful ham, you can add a few cloves of garlic to the glaze.

  • If you don't have Dr. Pepper, you can use any cola or even orange juice.

  • If you don't like mustard, you can use honey or maple syrup instead.

  • This glaze can also be used on pork chops or chicken.
