Ingredients

  • 1 9-12 pound ham
  • 4 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup of orange juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  • Combine brown sugar through orange juice in a bowl. 
  • Pour mixture over ham and rub in.
  • Bake for 10 minutes per pound.  Baste every 15 minutes or so.  If you run out of basting liquid just add a little bit of orange juice.

Notes

For Easter of 2025 we added the zest of the two oranges we used for the juice. It added to the orange flavor of the braising liquid. This is necessary but it added a nice flavor.
