Serving Size: 15

Cooking Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 Pounds (lb) spiral cut bone-in cured ham, sliced
• 1.5 Cups (c) ketchup
• 1 Cup (c) brown sugar, packed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the spiral-cut ham in a baking dish or roasting pan with the flattest side down to ensure even cooking.
3. Generously cover the ham with ketchup, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Use your hands to pack the brown sugar into the ketchup, creating a thick, even layer over the ham.
5. Loosely cover the ham with aluminum foil to prevent the glaze from burning while allowing it to caramelize.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the ham is heated through and the sugar has caramelized to a golden brown.
7. Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to thicken and develop a rich color.
8. Let the ham rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the symphony of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors!
