Always Juicy Baked Ham features a smoky, bone-in roast brushed and basted with a brown sugar–Dijon glaze thinned with beer for a sweet, tangy, and malty finish. The frequent basting keeps the meat moist with a lacquered crust and gentle heat inside. It’s a centerpiece-worthy roast for holidays or Sunday dinners, perfect alongside simple sides and leftovers for sandwiches.

1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

In a bowl, whisk together the beer, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
3

Set the ham cut-side up in a large roasting pan and pour the beer mixture over the ham.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until the ham starts to brown, about 15 minutes, basting 4 to 5 times.
5

Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Continue baking until the ham is heated through, about 90 minutes more, basting often.

Remove the lid and bake until the ham is well browned, about 15 minutes more. Let the ham rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
