- 1 fully cooked half ham (about 8-10 lbs)
- ½ cup honey
- ⅓ cup San-J Tamari
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1– 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Orange slices and fresh herbs for garnish optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large roasting pan with foil and place a rack on top.
- Score the surface in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about ½ inch apart. This helps the glaze penetrate the ham and creates a beautiful presentation.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, San-J Tamari, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and ground ginger. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the glaze is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, making sure it gets into the scored cuts. Bake for 1.5–2 hours, basting with the glaze every 20 minutes or until the ham is warmed through and glazed.
- Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with orange slices and fresh herbs if desired.
