Honey-Glazed Ham

Ingredients

• 1 whole ham , 12 pound
• 8 ounces butter
• 2 cups honey
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups red wine
• 3 tablespoons ground black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Cut long, shallow lines around the surface of the ham in a crossing patter, scoring the ham to create a diamond pattern all over the outside of the ham. Place ham into a roasting pan.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium. Stir honey, brown sugar, red wine, and black pepper with the melted butter; cook and stir until ingredients blend into a glaze, about 10 minutes. Spread glaze in an even layer over the ham, reserving some of the glaze to apply while the ham roasts.

4. 4

   Cook ham in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), glazing every 10 minutes, 30 to 45 minutes.
