Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds bone-in ham
- 0.5 cup raw honey
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons clove powder
- 6 whole pineapple rings
- 6 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Place the ham in a large roasting pan, cut side down.
In a small saucepan, combine the raw honey, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, garlic powder, and clove powder.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently and do not let it scorch.
Brush half of the glaze over the entire surface of the ham, making sure it's well coated.
Use the toothpicks to attach the pineapple rings onto the surface of the ham.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake the ham for approximately 2 hours (about 20 minutes per pound).
Remove the foil and brush the remaining glaze over the ham.
Continue baking uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize and form a delicious crust.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached at least 140°F (60°C).
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Slice and serve your Paleo Delicious Glazed Ham with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides.
