Stove-top Honey Glazed Ham

The best part of the holiday season is joining together with friends and family to enjoy a wonderful feast. My family tends to enjoy ham more than turkey. Really, we like turkey too so I usually make a Honey Glazed Ham and this Slow Cooker Turkey Breast so we can have both.

This ham recipe is great because the glaze is really easy to prepare. We keep it simple with pineapple juice, honey and mustard for a sweet tangy sauce. I add just a touch of sugar to achieve that sticky syrup consistency. But, you can definitely omit the sugar if you prefer.

You’re going to love having a double oven once you get your kitchen done. It’s been a serious game changer for me. And this ham… OMG! I want to devour it!

I need that oven. Immediately. Like right this very minute.
This is a fabulous ham recipe. I’m such a sucker for a glazed ham. Wish I lived closer to you, I would have been at your door with my biggest plate possible.

I’m confused. At the top you say Dijon mustard. In the recipe it says stone ground mustard. What is the difference and which did you use?

  Hi Joanna, I used a stone ground dijon mustard. Really, your favorite type of mustard will work. Maybe just steer clear of plain yellow mustard. Happy Holidays!

Sure. The EXACT recipe has been online for over 5 years. You keep telling yourself and others its yours. I didn’t expect to see my comment on your website because its uncomfortable. People make mistakes but not saying “Gee I forgot to credit someone. Its a great recipe but I made it my own by ……” In graduate school you would be on academic suspension for plagiarism Merry Christmas to you also. .

  People come up with similar recipes all of the time. A friend of mine was really upset when a cake recipe she came up with was brought to a party by another friend who called it “Better Than Sex Cake.” My friend did not know that better than sex cake already existed because she honestly came up with that same combination of ingredients in her own kitchen. Maureen, just RELAX and eat ham.

  I used regular white sugar but brown sugar can be used in it’s place. It was a fully cooked spiral ham.

Hi: Ivette says: Have you ever try to put cloves or nutmeg on your ham along with some of the ingredients. Also is the spiral better than whole ham. Thanks

Now I find the best thing to do is mix Course ground mustard, Dijon mustard and English mustard (English Mustard adds some heat to it
