Description
A beautifully roasted honey-glazed ham is a classic centerpiece for Christmas and Easter dinners. This recipe creates a succulent and flavorful ham with a sweet and sticky glaze made from honey, brown sugar, and spices. The scoring of the ham allows the glaze to penetrate the meat, and the cloves add a traditional festive aroma and appearance.
A Taste of History
The tradition of eating ham for Easter is linked to the pre-Christian pagan custom of celebrating the arrival of spring with a feast of pork, a symbol of luck and prosperity. The practice of glazing ham with sugar and spices became popular in the United States, creating the sweet and savory holiday dish we know today.
