Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pounds Bone-in ham
- 1.5 cups Xylitol-based honey substitute
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Place the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the xylitol-based honey substitute, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Brush the glaze mixture generously over the entire surface of the ham.
Insert rosemary sprigs evenly around the ham for added flavor.
Sprinkle black pepper over the glazed ham.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
Place the ham in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
Baste the ham with additional glaze every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to caramelize and create a nice crust.
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free honey-glazed roast ham!
