  • 3 lb hickory smoked spiral-sliced ham

  • 0.3 cup pure cane syrup or molasses
  • 2 tbsp dark corn syrup
  • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 0.3 tsp ground cloves
  • 0.3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, washed, cored, and halved
  • 2 Bartlett pears, washed, cored, and halved

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a shallow roasting pan with parchment. Place the ham on a wire rack in the pan.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, cane syrup, dark corn syrup, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the mustard in the water; stir into the spice mixture.

  3. 3

    Brush the entire ham with the glaze. Place the apple and pear halves around the ham. Baste the fruit with the remaining glaze.

  4. 4

    Bake for 45 minutes. Baste the ham and fruit again. Bake for another 45 minutes until the ham is deeply glazed and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes. Arrange the fruit on a platter with the sliced ham. Serve warm or at room temperature with buttermilk biscuits on the side.
