How do you cook a 5 pound bone in ham?

Ingredients:

- 1 (5-pound) bone-in ham

- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/2 cup orange juice

- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

- 2 tablespoons minced garlic

- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Prepare the Ham:

1. Remove the ham from its packaging and rinse it under cold water.

2. Pat the ham dry with paper towels.

3. Score the ham by cutting shallow criss-crosses on the fat side of the ham to help the glaze penetrate the meat.

3. Make the Glaze:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, orange juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until the glaze is combined.

4. Baste the Ham:

1. Transfer the ham to a large baking dish or roasting pan.

2. Brush the ham with the prepared glaze, ensuring it covers all sides.

5. Cover the Ham:

Cover the ham with foil or a roasting bag to retain moisture during baking.

6. Bake the Ham:

1. Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 2 hours or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).

2. Baste the ham with the glaze every 15-20 minutes during baking.

7. Increase the Oven Temperature:

1. Once the ham has reached an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C), increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).

2. Continue baking for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the glaze has caramelized and the ham is well-browned.

8. Let it Rest:

1. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest, covered, for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.

Serving:

Carve the ham and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your juicy and flavorful 5-pound bone-in ham.
