No Easter table feels complete without this timeless centerpiece: a spiral-sliced ham baked to perfection and brushed with a glossy glaze of brown sugar and mustard. The result is juicy, tender slices with a caramelized crust that’s equal parts sweet and savory.

Ingredients (for 10-12 servings):

• 1 fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (8–10 lb)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• ¼ tsp ground cloves (optional)
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F and place ham in a roasting pan lined with foil.
2. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and cloves. Simmer over low heat until thickened, about 5 min.
3. Brush half the glaze over the ham, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 1 hour.
4. Uncover, brush with remaining glaze, and continue baking for 20–30 min. until the outside is golden and caramelized.
5. Let rest for 10 min. before slicing and serving.
