Step 2: Prepare the sweet and spicy glaze
The glaze is the key element that enhances this dish and gives it its inimitable flavor:
Mix the ingredients : In a bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, mustard, orange juice, spices, and minced garlic. Whisk well until smooth.
Brush the ham : Use a brush to generously coat the ham with the glaze, making sure to cover every nook and cranny.
Tip: Reserve some of the glaze to add during baking to enhance the flavors.
Step 3: Baking the ham in the oven
Preheat the oven : Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) for even cooking.
To prepare the dish : Place the ham in a large roasting tin. Add a little water to the bottom to prevent the juices from burning.
Baste regularly : Every 30 minutes, brush the ham with its cooking juices and the remaining glaze to obtain even caramelization.
Cooking time : Cook for approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ham is golden brown and shiny.
Tip: If the ham is browning too quickly, cover it lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil.
