This recipe for Trisha Yearwood's Honey Mustard Glazed Ham is the perfect ham you need for any holiday gathering.

Over the Christmas holiday, I watched Trisha's Southern Kitchen on Food Network and she was making a delicious Honey Mustard Glazed Ham that made my mouth water the entire time she was cooking it.

I knew right then and there it would be a ham recipe I intended to make for every holiday from here on out.

When I first saw the amount of brown sugar and Dijon mustard that goes in this, I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but trust me. As it cooks, the honey and brown sugar begin to caramelize making this rich sauce that you want to drink.

Y'all — it is that good.

Of course, I always cover my ham in pineapple slices. They make a great side dish for serving with your ham.

The pineapple gets all caramelized too and the mix of fresh pineapple with brown sugar and honey is like perfect sweetness.

What Kind of Ham Do You Buy?

You can use any type of ham you want to. I have bought spiral-cut ham, and I have bought the bone-in ham — whichever your favorite happens to be.

This ham is perfect for holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, or if you just want a delicious ham one evening. I try to always look when I am at the store to see if they have a boneless ham on deep markdown. Then I buy a couple and freeze them.

Once I bake them, I use the leftovers to make recipes like these Everything Bagel Ham and Cheese Sliders.

How to Make This Honey Mustard Glazed Ham

For starters, you are going to bake your ham in a shallow. You can use a large covered roasting pan, but a shallow rack will work well too.

Take the ham out of the pack and wash it off with cold water. If you like the extra salty flavor in your ham, then you can skip this step.

Bake the ham on a roasting rack I found on Amazon covered in aluminum foil. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to make sure the ham is at the right temperature. The total roasting time for this ham is about 2 and 1/2 hours.

After baking your ham halfway through, then, take a saucepot and mix together the brown sugar and honey and warm through on the stove over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and it is mixed together thoroughly. The total cooking time for the sauce is about 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard. Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham. Continue baking the ham, basting occasionally with the drippings on the roaster until the end of the estimated cooking time.

I add my pineapples during the second half of baking right on top of the ham. This gives them plenty of time to get soaked with the honey mustard mixture and brown from the baking process.

Allow the ham to stand for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices inside the ham to set. This is an easy recipe you can make and I promise you won't mess it up.

If you choose to make a ham that has a ham bone in it, save it and the ham hock. You can use it to put in your soups when you make them in the slow cooker.

What to serve with this ham

Good side dishes for this ham are greens casserole, sauteed parsnips, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and of course homemade sourdough Dinner rolls.
