Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 pounds Spiral-sliced ham
- 1 cup Blackberry preserves
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Fresh blackberries (optional, for garnish)
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and set the oven rack to the lower-middle position.
Place the spiral-sliced ham cut-side down in a large roasting pan or baking dish. Cover the ham tightly with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or about 10-12 minutes per pound, until heated through.
While the ham is baking, prepare the blackberry mustard glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine blackberry preserves, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 1 hour and 30 minutes of baking, remove the ham from the oven and carefully discard the aluminum foil. Brush the ham generously with the prepared glaze, making sure to cover all exposed areas.
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. Baste with more glaze every 10 minutes to build up a sticky, caramelized coating.
Once the glaze is golden and bubbly, remove the ham from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with fresh blackberries and a sprig of fresh thyme for added presentation before serving.
