Every Easter I tend to make a baked ham; however, since starting this blog Easter is the only time I ever make a ham and like I've said in the past, I try not to do "bloggy" stuff like photographing our food during holiday meals.

This year, since my in-laws will be hosting dinner, I decided to make a ham ahead of time so that I can share my recipe for this easy Brown Sugar-Honey Baked Ham with you before Easter this year.

Brown Sugar Honey Baked Ham

How do you make Brown Sugar Honey Baked Ham?

This has got to be the simplest recipe...EVER! Honey. Brown Sugar. Bone-in Ham. Three ingredients...That's it!

As simple as this dish is to make, the flavor combination is so tasty. The honey and brown sugar fall into the water bath forming a wonderful au jus which we like to pour on top of our meat which gives it that little added sweetness.

If you like pineapple, you can certainly crush that up on top as well; however, my youngest daughter and I recently became allergic to pineapple over the last couple of years which is quite a shame because I used to love it. Now, our tongues start to swell whenever we eat or drink it so I'm not going to chance it!

In any event, I used a bone-in ham which is fully cooked; however, you need to let it reheat until the proper internal temperature of at least 150 degrees is reached. Also, baste the meat with the juices every ½ hour or so to keep it moist.

If you find the top of the meat is getting to dark before it reaches the proper temperature, cover it with foil.

When done, allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow all of the juices to settle. With carving a ham, it's going to be a little difficult getting even pieces while slicing like you do with other cuts of roasting meats like beef, chicken or pork.

Just do the best you can. I first start by making a slice closest to the bone and carving out a larger piece. From there, slice the meat into manageable pieces and save the bone to make soup like Split Pea, Lentil or Ham & Potato. ~Enjoy!
