Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Step 2Place the ham cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Score the skin about ½ inch deep with a sharp knife, tracing over the existing lines.
3. Step 3In a small saucepan, stir together the Maille Honey Dijon Mustard, brown sugar, grapefruit juice, chipotle powder, cumin, salt, and pepper over medium heat. Cook until smooth and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
4. Step 4Brush half the glaze all over the ham. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425°F, remove the foil, and brush the remaining glaze over the ham. Bake, rotating halfway through, until the skin is darkened and caramelized, 35 to 40 minutes more.
5. Step 5Let the ham rest for 20 minutes before thinly slicing and serving.

Upgrade your holiday feast with this showstopping centerpiece. Dark brown sugar, freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, a sprinkle of chipotle powder, and Maille Honey Dijon Mustard come together in a flavorful glaze that coats every inch of the ham and gets glossy and caramelized in the oven. Whether you're hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner or a cozy family gathering, this simple but sophisticated dish is sure to impress everyone at the table.
